How to mend jeans with sashiko stitching

Learn the beautiful Japanese textile folk art of sashiko embroidery (it translates as 'little stabs') to mend your jeans.

This tutorial could be amended to repair any textile item with a tear in it. Quite different to Western embroidery, sashiko uses a longer needle to load multiple stitches onto it before sewing through.

You'll need:
- patch of fabric the same weight as the material you are mending
- Sashiko thread
- Sashiko needles (stronger and longer than standard sewing needles)
- Sliver of soap, heat sensitive pen or tailor's chalk
- Safety pins
