i embroidered my jacket!
(there are also some various progress photos and close-ups)
learning sashiko has been so much fun and i'm still working on making my stitches more straight and less wonky, but for not having used a stitch guide for any of it and just drawing the pattern myself, i think it turned out pretty decent! it's not perfect but it's made with love and patient effort and that is what matters more. i might also do some stitching down the placket/outer trim eventually...but i like it for now :)
i enjoy visible mending so much and have really found a lot of peace and intentionality in doing it. it steeps me in the beauty of human art!
