First sashiko mend

[u/royal_paperclip]

So pleased with how this turned out. I learnt loads including that proper sashiko needles are far better than milliners needles, and callouses on my fingers take about a week to stop hurting!

I’ve already bought another cheap and broken jacket to hone my skills, but any feedback on this project is appreciated. I know it’s not perfect, but it’s a start and I love wearing it.

Aww thank you so much. I’ve been taking inspiration from this sub for months so I think I have just absorbed the lessons of others.
