    I feel like any sewing or other textile projects could easily be at home in fashion.

    I keep flirting with the idea of getting into sashiko, but haven’t had the time/energy for extra hobbies.

      I am so excited about the idea of sashiko but my sewing skills in practice are still undeveloped. There is this really interesting trend of sashiko-like textiles coming from historical reproduction denim makers in japan.

      e.g.: https://www.okayamadenim.com/products/pre-order-studio-dartisan-indigo-rain-kasuri-selvedge-jeans-tapered?variant=47065927123240

      I wanted to buy these as a present for my BF but the sold out his size right before the paycheck I would have saved enough :/

        I love the stuff where they make jackets or jeans from a similar material to kendo gis. They’re always super expensive though, lol. They look like they fade in a super pretty way

        I have to remind myself that there will always be more cool stuff around in the future whenever this happens!

          It’s true! I e-mailed another brand about something I was interested in that was sold out and they just told me the restock date so now I know what I will get to spend it on. Or we can go out to a nice dinner lol.
