Diy doesn't have to be Make A New Jacket From Scratch btw, it can be turning Jacket You Don't Wear into Jacket You DO Wear by adding a simple patch, adding a cool charm to your zipper, or dying it a new color! :) diy is about doing whatever you can do, with what you have, however you feel comfortable.
Don't psyche yourself out of a good thing! It takes time and practice but you can Get There!! what the practiced diy-ers with all the coolest projects don't tell you is they were beginners too once upon a time!
Jacket mends over the last 4 years. Lots of sashiko, reinforcement of the yoke and sleeves, mending holes and tears, and all buttonholes were reworked. My plan this year is to remove the pokeball patch and do a more figural embroidery design with sashiko elements. Then doing a full lining of the back with some cool fabric I recently got.
I enjoy having longer term projects and I especially enjoy ones that I can wear.
I bought a sashiko kit at the fiber arts festival and just completed it! Top is the "front", bottom two images are the back before and after washing off the preprinted pattern/instructions.
Sashiko is beautiful as an art form and very useful as a method of mending clothing but what really fascinated me is the stitching technique you use on work like this, where both pieces of fabric are thin and flexible.
Rather than stitching up-and-down like in most western embroidery, with sashiko you stitch "through" horizontally. You hold a long needle with the thumb and middle finger of your dominant hand, close to the tip, with the eye braced against a special ring thimble worn at the base of your middle finger. Using your other hand, you push the fabric up and down against the tip to load several "stitches" on the needle at once, then push the needle through and pull the stitches flat, then repeat. It's very satisfying and I'm sure once I get better at it, it'll go much faster. (But first I have some cross-stitch commissions to complete.)

Finished the latest mend literally right before I had to leave for a flight not perfect but it'll do
when i get sad i learn a new craft :-( first attempt at sashiko stitching
The RED corduroy trousers... FINISHED
they are finally complete, my index finger has grown a callous from hand sewing so solid that if I where to poke someone they would think I threw a rock at them, I fear it will never return to normal, I may start to consider a thimble. I HATE thimble's. I don't understand them, I fear them.
anyway, again the process of taking photos was a nightmare, I had the genius idea of just filming myself posing in the trousers and them trying to grab freeze frames of the video, HOWEVER it terns out if you are constantly moving the freeze-frames will in fact show that movement... so please be gentle withe the photo quality lol.
also I ended up hand sewing a red cotton lining into the pants to protect the embroidery backing.
if you have any questions about the project, or advice/recourses on how to do things like this feel free to comment or message, I'm always happy to talk embroidery and up cycling fashion.
