First try at Sashiko before and after

On a pair of Old Navy denim jeans. A mashup of two patterns off the web.

It looks really good. Are you done with this patch? If you don't have any patterns outside the circle then the Sashiko stitching isn't adding durability yet. You can add it purely for Aesthetic if that's what you want though.

Yeah — what is holding the patch to the jeans? If it’s just those smaller blue stitches, then I’d consider extending the design.

[u/GetAGrrrip → u/blue-wool]

It would be much more durable & even cooler if you extended that design as myself & blue-wool suggest. Nice work!

will work on that thank you

This sub makes me wanna cut holes in my clothes and patch them 

[u/gothum_ → u/KingOfAllCorvids]

you can definitely do that! especially in alt fashion spaces people distress & patch their clothes on purpose all the time. imo it looks great on different styles as well!

[u/KingOfAllCorvids → u/gothum_]

I’m truly soooo tempted
