my husband’s Levi’s have had a blown-out knee for months- maybe over a year. He said he’d never wear them again, but I think I convinced him 😊 I finally took the plunge into an actual project, from start to finish in 6 hours in one afternoon. He told me which thread color to use and which pattern. Critique is welcome, I’m wanting to learn and try new patterns!
Additionally- does anyone have a clear pattern for the base design on a grid? Thank you!
Im still learning how to do the cool geometrical stuff but i found something that i love the look of and just feels super fun.
My partner is in blue collar work so he has his work pants that wear constantly. He tends to kneel on his right knee when doing certain tasks and has blown through them and it sucks how expensive good work pants are. Ive been doing mending on his pants for 2 years now sometimes by hand and sometimes on the sewing machine.
Idk how you guys are able to do such cool designs. I struggle so hard and I treat it more like embroidery than actual sashiko. I have to use a hoop otherwise it feels wonky and there’s always a crease somewhere in my work
