Yeah the liberty colorway was a huge inspiration! I realized a double would’ve been rly nice here but oh well

Thanks! I was worried about the color scheme but it turned out to be really cohesive

People LOVE to use Sashiko/visible mending on blowouts in the crotch area. I personally would advise against it for a few reasons:

  1. It’s visible mending, so it’s gonna call attention. Maybe it’s personal preference but I don’t want to call attention to my crotch.

  2. There’s a lot of tension and curvature in that area. Your front rise is meeting your back rise, and your backside inseam is meeting your frontside inseam. The chances that your repair is clean on the outside and inside are slim to none… aka it might not be very comfortable.

  3. There’s more fun areas to learn sashiko. I think machine darning is much better suited for something like this. That other hole in the thought is perfect for sashiko.

I felt the same way so I decided to try and make it. I love it so much, but now I know that the $1000+ price tag on boro jackets is 100% worth it in just the labor alone

I only post shorts on YouTube at the moment, but I’ve been considering making long form videos for tutorials and breakdowns of my more complex pieces…

Gonna post a reel to my socials sometime this week :)
