I learned to sew when I was very little, and at a very basic level. Recently, I had some free time and a couple of old jeans. I got motivated, had my sewing machine repaired (criying in the cost send help with this unemployed life 🥹🥹 ), and started sewing again to bring to life this vision of jeans I saw on Pinterest. I'm super proud because I was a little embarrassed to wear something I'd created, but I received really good feedback. The only problem I've encountered working with jeans is that I don't know how to prevent the denim fabric from unraveling at the seams. For now, I've double-stitched them, but it's something that often happens to me. Any advice?
