Boro-Style Jeans Repair with Sashiko - Easy Visible Mending

Want to repair ripped jeans with a beautiful, durable technique? In this video, I use the boro-style and sashiko method to mend a torn knee with a pre-made boro style patch. I apply fusible backing to secure the fabric and then sew it on with a traditional but simple sashiko pattern. This method extends the life of your favorite jeans and gives them a unique, decorative touch. No verbal instructions, just video demonstration and clear text you can follow at your own pace and get creative using Japanese embroidery on your own clothes.
Techniques used:
Boro style patches - taken from traditional Japanese textile repair
Sashiko stitching - functional and decorative embroidery
Visible Mending - Turn damage into design
