The pockets stayed exactly where they were supposed to be šŸ¤ šŸ‘–šŸ§µ

Made this little zipper pouch from an old pair of jeans and used the back pockets as actual pockets on the bag. Even used the seam with the wrangler tag and used it as the strap because tiny details like that make me irrationally happy.

kind of obsessed with how it turned out.

How to mend a common tear with simple embroidery

There isnā€™t much thatā€™s more beginner-friendly than repairing a treasured summer dress with one stitch and a wash-away pattern.

Today Iā€™m mending this lightweight fabric using our Beginnerā€™s Visible Mending Kit, but if you already have embroidery supplies, simply transfer a Ā¼ā€ grid and stitch along with me.

I love how the heart shape adds a soft curve to the waistline while reinforcing the tear. The thread blends into the fabric just enough to let the stitching become part of the story rather than hiding the repair completely.

Visible mending isnā€™t about making damage disappearā€”itā€™s about extending the life of the clothes we love.

Turn thrifted denim into one-of-a-kind summer shorts āœ‚ļøšŸŒ¼

Hereā€™s how to hem your pants using Sashiko embroidery ā€” no sewing machine needed. I used our brand new Rice Stitch Flower Variation pattern to give these vintage Leviā€™s a fresh summer update.

I added the rice flower pattern to the pockets and finished each bloom with a French knot center for a little extra texture.

Our newest Sashiko stitch + stitch patterns are available online now through the link in bio or at [Socorro Society.com]

Happy mending šŸŖ”

How to prep your needle and thread for visible mending.

Tie a knot, thread the eye and leave a tail, start mending. When done with that thread, tie a knot at the back of your fabric, snip excess, and repeat steps with new thread.

Save and share with someone whoā€™s starting their hand sewing journey. Happy mending!

āœØThe sounds of slow fashion āœØ a short and silent process video of re-enforcing a weak area with the Happy Daisy sashiko inspired mash-up pattern. I consider this pattern to be a sampler of sorts. There are eight petals and 4 different sashiko patterns that will mend or add character to anything you stitch it on.

I reinforced the thigh of these jeans with thread from my scrap thread jar. The rainbow effect wasnā€™t intentional at first but when I kept choose colors in the order of the color wheel I just went with it.

Stitches used:

Sashiko patterns: running stitch
Outline of flower and smile: back stitch
Eyes: satin stitch

Happy mending!!
