Sashiko

I’ve wanted to try this style of stitching/mending for ages and finally took the plunge on Monday. It’s not as easy as I thought!

How fascinating, would love to see the finished product.

That looks really interesting. I have never heard of it before

@30pics4jackiesdiamond true!

@ludwigsdiana ha - me too!

@seacreature Japanese in origin (I think) Visible mending is becoming quite a thing. I like the concept though not sure if I can make it work the way I want Desi.

I've never heard of this. I'd love to see the finished result too. I hope it works for you.

Very cool! Will you use this piece to repair your Very Old Jeans?

[narayani]

@merrelyn I’ll post when finished.

@beckyk365 these are the Very Old Jeans 😉 They’re Sean’s and he gave his approval last night when he saw them - but of course wanted more stitching than I was intending!
