Mending in Progress – Erica Fu

This is a piece of clothing I used to try out using a sewing machine during quarantine. On the pocket, I originally had a navy design that I attempted to make with the sewing machine, but I thought I was not satisfied with that design and thought it would be interesting to add some pops of color instead, continuing on with my introduction of altering clothes with this one jacket.

I decided to go for a primary palette to match with the burgundy cloth. I think I will continue experimenting by adding more threads along different areas of the clothing that are not as complete or satisfactory to me due to my lack of sewing experience and turn those little flaws into places of interest.
