Been wanting to try my hand at this forever! Had so much fun doing it, and learned a lot. It's by no means perfect, but I'm happy with it. I did it completely freehand and I can tell while people use a stencil or draw it out first. My plus signs are more like crosses or "t"'s. oh well.

If you got tips i'm all ears.

Maybe I should just stop trying to repair these stretchy jeans for my boyfriend. So disappointed that I've tried a whip stitch patch and then a denim patch with Boro. I've done sashiko on another pair which I'm sure will fail now as well. It was my mission to fix all his jeans and I've done three pairs and they all rip more after.

First time trying the pattern on the right, freehanded and a bit wonky but I’m pretty pleased with the result!

I think it turned out so cute! Did this while finishing off the last couple of episodes of The Gentlemen on Netflix.

After my 6yr old's favourite sweatpants were mended [https://www.reddit.com/r/Visiblemending/s/wD3nbLq8LF] my 4yr old begged me to mend their sweatpants and jeans too.

I patched both up with quilting fabric they chose. Then I added sashiko style stitches with embroidery threads of which they chose the colours as well. As a last step I also added some stabilising interface on the back, so the threads won't tickle his knees 😂 . . . 🤞 Hopefully the mending will hold for another 3 months, untill the seasons change and I'll have to chop these jeans and pants to shorts 🫣

All of them have been mended multiple times at this point -- just keep stitching ✨

Tried this on my daughter's pants. It was hard with the stretchy fabric, but I used some fabric glue to get the patch in place before sewing over it.

I posted my first try of Sashiko two days ago. This is the second patch on the same jacket. I choose a totally different style and I‘m kind of on the fence because of the inconsistency. What do you think about it (third picture, you‘ll probably need to click it in mobile to see both patches)? There are more distressed parts to the jacket, so right now I‘m thinking about just adding more different styles and hoping it ends up somewhat consistent again 😬

Repaired crotch rot on my second hand pajamas

Mended this couch cushion! I used an old pair of jeans for the patch. This was my first time ever doing sashiko mending and I’m so happy with how it turned out

I’ve had these jeans since high school. I blew out the knees a few years back and patched them up. Maybe once a year I revisit them to touch them up. The donor fabric is from a well-loved jacket-turned-vest, with its own mends to cover some worn out spots.

I didn't make a grid obviously. Every time I thought there was only like 3 or 4 rows left to go, I'd do 3 or 4 rows, and there would still be 3 or 4 more rows to go.

I used baby pants from the thrift store to make the patch.

there was a big spot on the back of my jeans that was wearing thin, so i decided to try out sashiko to strengthen the area. now to figure out what to do about the fraying on bottom 🤔
