I started hand embroidery 4 days ago. It is pretty fun

I taper etc most of my jeans myself. Occasionally make shirts. Not a lot but I'd say I probably saved about $100 if I would've gone to a professional tailor.

Senpai, pls, not in public desu~

I did these guys first. I used a stem stitch and some patchy backstitching. It is all a bit too loose.

Embroidery floss, embroidery hoop, some needles, and some fabric is all you need. I did my first ones straight onto a white tee of mine.

This is my other one. I actually started embroidery because I wanted new clothes, but figured I could just make my old ones more personal.

What's a good resource to learn the basics of sowing?

I can't even repair rips in a pair of jeans

Forums online are great. Old women love talking about sewing with youngsters.

We already have a /diy/ thread up.
