#stitches work!

[stitchthisshitup]

My first attempt at Sashiko style patching! (Plus cat tax) I was originally gonna do a stitch pattern that looked more like a net but I hated it (´∇｀''）I’m really proud of how consistent the stitch length is! Still have a ways to go but it’s really cool to see my improvement ᕙ( •̀ ᗜ •́ )ᕗ

Trying some new stuff out! I’m really liking how it’s looking so far ‎٩(⸝⸝ᵕᴗᵕ⸝⸝)و*̣̩⋆̩*

Repaired a pocket for the first time! (˶˃𐃷˂˶) Used scraps from a pair of cargo pants I thrifted that were way to big for me on the inside then did a sashiko pattern on the outside for extra support since my mom mostly wears these for work (so proud of the thread color matching) also it’s toooootally supposed to be lopsided yep (ᵕ—ᴗ—)

My first really big project!! ᕙ( •̀ ᗜ •́ )ᕗ Or big for me at least.... I'm resizing this old tote bag of mine I never use and adding some new stuff to it. I don't use it anymore cause it's so plain, my pins fall off cause there's no liner, it doesn't have pockets, it's a nice depth but not that wide, and the straps are tiny. I'm going to fix all of that! First up is the expansion with some panels I'm adding to the sides and bottom. I'm using some fabric I bought from a thrift store recently, its a nice sturdy flannel type fabric with this pretty rose pattern. Only hang up so far is that I'm not used to using a sewing machine so the seams are.... well.... (ᵕ•_•)

First attempt at a patch with a design! Used really stretchy scrap fabric and refused to look up any stitches and just free handed it so it all in all took way to long and looks meh. I’m so fucking happy with it .o(≧∀≦)o

Finished!!! ◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜ first photo is the inside of the sock and the second is the outside! Was just using scrap thread (reduce reuse recycle ♻️ yup yup yup) but I lowkey love the black and yellow! Even though the black sucked to do scotch darning with 'cause it was so hard to see the previous loops (⸝⸝๑﹏๑⸝⸝) I honestly can't recommend this style of darning enough and it will be my go to in the future 100% so fun and meditative
