Got a favorite pair of jeans with a little tear? Don’t toss them out just yet! You have to try this amazing hand mending technique to give them a second life. This tutorial from Practical Embroidery shows you how to use a simple running stitch to create a beautiful, visible mend. Instead of hiding the repair, you’re turning it into a unique, one-of-a-kind design. It’s a great way to express your creativity and save money at the same time. You can even use a contrasting thread color to make the mend really pop.
This is a fantastic project for anyone who loves upcycling and wants to add a personal, handmade touch to their favorite clothes. It’s so satisfying to turn something that’s broken into a work of art!
