@GraemeE fully agree!
It‘s kind of meditative, similar to cleaning boots. You just focus on the task and all the rest disappears…

@GraemeE oh yes, I have seen that in one of the YouTube videos. I fixed it with needles when I did the hole first but then removed the needles as they were hindering me when I did the pattern part.

It was to much effort for me to fix the patch first but you're right this way would be much better. I also should not have stitched to far within the pattern but I was too lazy to make each star pattern and then cut and knot and move on to the next.

I will for sure try some more patterns and also maybe mix more colors in the future. There are so many cool tings you can do and make clothing even more unique. Also the thought to give those clothes a much longer live is really nice in my opinion.

Maybe it´s also just me trying to get my son into denim who knows

@goosehd I think with some more patience and experience someone get´s the back side also look much cleaner. I also think as long as the inside is not hindering when getting into the pants and does not feel weird it's okay as long as the outside looks fine.

I'm really happy that that my son likes it, the only problem is he grows faster than I get his pants fixed

@goosehd haha… you got me there, the inside looks like a mess Still need to practice and it’s challenging for me as I‘m very impatient. It took me roughly 5h to get it done and it was my second sashiko repair that I ever did.

I got this cards and a book from Amazon and watched a couple of videos.

I also figured out that kids pants are though because there is not much space for your hand and needle when going inside

Still learning the ropes….

Getting ready for the next submission

@RobeOfTheMagi thanks mate appreciate it ️

@RoxRocks86 many thanks! Kids pants are a great way to get into sashiko repair - there is a lot to be fixed ️

First attempts with Sashiko repair

@don_pipone, but I get you, you can not just not wear such a great new jacket

@don_pipone great jacket, doesn´t it fade onto the white shirt? I´m always a bit hesitant to wear denim jackets with my white business shirts. Just pulled the trigger on a Heimat Oxford shirt that I really like and was thinking of combining it with some nice denim jacket...
Anyhow, have a great trip and safe travels!

@GoodtimeJohnny so sorry to hear that!

@Luijim78 sorry for your loss mate! My prayers are with you!!

Oh no my brand new IH tee…
