#sashiko yarai

[improbable-implosions]

I haven't been posting about this here, but I've been doing a good deal of visible mending, figured now is a good time to start posting!

Up first, we've got a little sashiko! It's no secret these comfy elastic-fibered jeans have trouble holding up to anything beyond basic wear, so I threw a (loosely adapted) yarai pattern on these jeans to get them holding together longer!

This being my first pass at sashiko, it's far from my best work (I get better later, as you'll see soonventually) but I still find it quite charming, if I'm honest! These jeans would have been toast if I hadn't put this patch on, and the sashiko technique here reinforces a weak spot quite nicely, so my thighs don't absolutely wreck these jeans quite so quickly.
