I remember when they did this in the 90s and not just the last decade. So glad to see it coming back!!
To ensure your mend is secure on the inside (I could see toes hitting threads and possibly undoing things over time), you could use a visible interfacing cut to encapsulate all raw edges. This would also help give support to the mend fabric (it looks like a quilting fabric which is quite thin compared to the sturdiness of denim). You just need to be sure you are able to keep the fabric flat while ironing.
❤ Thank you for taking the time to make an excellent video with good close-ups of your sewing. I hope you ignore any negative comments. What you are doing is a type of art. All that matters is that you like it. The rest of us can learn from you, and if someone wants to vary it somehow, such as with brighter colors, shorter stitches, varied stitches, or something else, you provided the initial idea so they could design it their way. I applaud your teaching methods and also recommending books that will give further instruction and ideas. 😊
So interesting! I've never seen this way to repair jeans.
Thank you for this tutorial.
Best video I've seen for doing this! Exactly what I was looking for to mend my jeans in a non-fussy way with a cool result!!!! Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Thank you so much. This was exactly what I was looking for. (and for the record, your jeans look awesome!)

A good video for beginner mending with Sashiko. Thank you.
What a great teacher you are!! Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome!
Thanks for your time and the details. I appreciate it and you for sharing. I picked up some great tips.
Glad it was helpful!
A tip Is say it just to bast the patch from inside and Sashiko with it or around it instead of leaving safety pins in
Beautiful presentation 👌🏽
Thank you for sharing this with me
Or, since most jeans these days have stretch, use stretch fabric for the knees at least.
Waxing the thread helps it not to knot and makes it stronger.
This girl knows her stuff!
excellent idea for jeans
Running stitch is easier if you do it Sashiko way by running needle as far as you can into fabric then pulling the thread out instead out in and out
Thank you
Very helpful

Yes - it’s useful to check out the books! Sometimes showing the inside of books on TH-cam can be copyright infringement.

Sorry for such a late response, but yes! This type of visible stitching could be used on a pair of new jeans, with or without patches and holes.
Thanks
Volume is too low, despite setting computer at highest volume setting plus the individual video at highest setting.

I guess I would have njust opened the leg and then used my sewing machine to do that or did you just want to do it sew by hand?
Too gloomy for me dear. My son likes bright colours so people can see more patterns.
Just use different fabric and brighter DMC thread.
vc fala demais moça ... pelo amor de Deus fala menos e mostre o trabalho sendo feito ..
It would be great if everyone filled in their horrible, ripped, and holey, jeans with this art!!! That was the worst fashion trend ever invented!!! 💖👍😁
They call it boro, its the very thing I have been doing all my life. I call it ....nothing. please stop trying to make an art out of common shite.
Sashiko has been a thing in Japan for over 400 years. We just found out about it in the west it seems. So stop being an old coot and pay attention.
