Took a little #selfcare time on Sunday and finally got to do some mending on a pair of jeans. This is inspired by one of the patterns I bought from @mirjamtextiles. Absolutely love her work!

@Walker55Ashley Wow! Uncontained madder! That's very brave. Do you just cut it back to keep it under control? Or simply velcro it to itself when it starts to wander? 😆

@Walker55Ashley The indigo I'm growing came direct from Japan 3 years ago. First year was a little rough, but with each year, the indigo is climitizing. This year, aside from getting burned by the sun & 90°+(F) days a couple weeks ago, they are super happy. Have fun! 💙🌱
