Boro sewing
Me and the kids are at home today with ”daycare flu”. Since our noses are constantly running, and we’re not feeling the greatest, I lit a fire in the fireplace and then tried to do some chores. After lunch, I took a shower...and noticed the jeans I had shopped online and been ”saving for a rainy day” HAD PRE-MADE HOLES IN THEM! What’s a crafty mom to do? I don't want to have any pre-made holes in my pants, especially not since the weather is already turning cold! Well, I did some boro sewing (it’s a Japanese mending technique) and fixed the holes with parts of my old cut up black/grey jeans. (Loved those old jeans btw, literally into pieces) Yeah, thank you H&M... I couldn't see those holes all that well while I was shopping on my phone... I started with gluing (yay for having my EPP glue basting glue nearby) the patches to the inside of the pants. Then it was just big stitch sewing. It think it looked great! Weavin...
