Thrifted Jeans

[u/Much_Employer_5794]

I used a pair of striped jeans as the patches and some Sashiko style thread patterns to redo these jeans.

This honestly looks way cuter than just normal jeans.

How did you get the edges of the jeans so clean? And did you use a backing fabric for the pattern fabric?

Hi! I cut the frayed edges a bit for the two big knee areas and the ones on the back. The striped patches are just a piece from a different pair of jeans. I did purchase fusible sheets to help make fabric patches sturdier.

Thanks all for the kind words and encouragement! I’ve just started getting into visible mending and I’m hooked! I’ve finished a few pants and a jacket, but these are my favorite so far.

Posted the sort of before pic. I had trimmed them up and started patching a bit.

This is indefinitely a case of the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. I love the personality you jeans have.
