I remembered that I can actually do anything I want, so I've been using faux fur as a texture element in patching up my old ripped jeans (not done stitching yet as evidenced by the pins on the border of it)
I am also going to buy red thread and try to include a decorative amogus somewhere on here.
#Ford's art#visible mending#sewing#color says shit#I've been staying up until almost 2am sewing because I lose track of time while stitching.#I used a denim patch as an actual backing and cut and trimmed the fur patches to size and cut the fur around the hole#so they're essentially inserted between the denim backing and the front pant layer.#so I'm finished sewing the fur in place (that's the three circular x stitch patterns)#so now I'm working on the anchor stitches for the entire backing patch#because I've done smaller patches and the pants often rip out right next to the patch#so a larger patch that reinforces the fabric that's still incredibly worn but not quite ripped out helps prevent more ripping#my earlier patch jobs weren't very good but I'm getting better each time#and I have plenty of ripped jeans to practice on.#I'm just sad I can't wear them to work because they're visibly patched.#which.. that's the point for me but work dress code doesn't like that#if they were cutely embroidered I could definitely. but I'm going for the janky look so work won't approve
