Upcycle Your Jeans with Modern Hand Embroidery (DIY PROJECT!)

Learn to Personalise your Clothes with Modern hand Embroidery: charlesandelin...
In today's video I (Elin) show you one of my most recent (AND SO FUN!) upcycling projects. I used some left-over threads as my inspiration and starting point, whereafter the rest of the design was created intuitively. I didn't prepare any sketch or design on the jeans in advance, but rather enjoyed the freedom of free hand stitching.
To embroider your pocket is a perfect way to experiment with both style, colours and stitch techniques. It's easy to cut up your threads if you make a mistake or a figure that you don't like (or if you by accident stitch the pocket together).
You can find a more detailed commentary about the process of these jeans in our online course "Personalise your clothes with Modern hand embroidery": charlesandelin...
Happy stitching!

So creative and pretty💕 I was going to throw away some jeans worn for many years and getting bored, but I'd like to try this and wear them many more years☺

[@jenysanta7718]

So beautiful detail to compliment a simple jean. Love your videos 😍😍👏👏💞

[@CharlesElin]

Thank you so much!

[@imfunnygal511]

This is so nice to to watch and very helpful and inspiring for what I want to do. Did you use a stabilizer? Or would you recommend that if I did this on the leg part of a pair of jeans rather than the pocket?

[@chrynelson]

I’ve been working on some embroidery on the leg of my jeans! I haven’t felt the need for any stabilizer, but I have found a hoop to be useful!

Pôr favor mim informa pôr gentileza qual é essa linha?

[@saraelrefaey8323]

really beautiful . I loved it .. but I didn't understand why putting a paper ?

[@CharlesElin]

The paper serves as a blocker so that I don't stitch the pocket together and thereby not being able to use it :)

[@dianadaniel3441]

I want to learn this now in my life at 62!

Is this jeans stretchy

[@CharlesElin]

Yes a little but the pocket is not so stretchy :)

[@TheGrifhinx]

Must be less smooth to not have a thimble to push the needle easy

So it looks like she only used 3 strands? Or do my eyes deceive me? I used two or 3 in the 70's when I used to do this, but am noticing people using all 6....any ideas my fellow hand embroidery people?

My mother taught me to embroider and she used 3 so that is what I go by still.
