Visible mending

World Watercolor Month Day #5 - patch

Boy do these jeans take me back to my day.
I think we all wore a patch on our jeans, didn't we?

I remember patches on jeans.

Love those stitch details

So cute!

I am starting to see jeans with patches on again.
July 6th, 2024  
Ha ha yes! Patches are better than big rips?

I think I agree with @pusspup and I love the way you have illustrated it so nicely here
July 6th, 2024  
I like your patch!

@kjarn I had a pair of cut off jean shorts that by the time I threw them out I had been patching patches.
@summerfield Thanks Vikki.
@onewing Probably stylish now.
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thanks Jackie. A bit sloppy, but all part of learning. Got the blow dryer next to the painting area now, but still learning what needs to be painted first.
@jamibann Thanks Issi.
@wakelys I figured they'd be in style again.
@pusspup Yes, especially in the upper thighs and butt. I wasn't one to show off my underwear.
@grammyn Thanks Katy. Visible mending has become a thing on Pinterest. Seems I repair or replace clothes before they need the big, colorful patches these days.
@jacqbb Thanks Jacqueline.

@randystreat it seems like a much more modest way to make a statement than the ripped jeans

That’s how they wear them or they don’t even bother to patch a hole. Nice painting.

Oh yeah- I wonder if that will ever come back. The thing now is to leave them ripped- and even buy them that way!

@grammyn The old cut offs were repaired until they were no longer modest.
@shutterbug49 Yeah and it's not really something I like to see.
@olivetreeann People interested in textiles and needle arts are doing something called visible mending. This link has interesting information and photos: https://egausa.org/visible-mending-introduction/
