Part 2 – Hand Sewing the tattered denim vessel with Boro Stitching

Part 2 – Slow stitching, embellishing and assembling the Tattered Denim Vessel

Welcome back to Part 2 of my “Slow Stitching the Tattered Denim Vessel With Boro Stitching” series! In this video, I will show you how to hand sew your slow-stitched, tattered denim collage into a stunning, one-of-a-kind fabric vessel using thrifted denim jeans, faux feed sack fabrics, and easy Boro stitching techniques. This tutorial is perfect for anyone curious about textile art, creative stitchery, hand sewing, slow stitching and those who are looking to create eco-friendly fabric art that is both meaningful and mindful.

If you’re curious about embroidery on denim, visible mending, or upcycled fabric crafts, you’ll enjoy learning how to turn tattered, vintage jeans into a functional, beautiful piece of art. Using Japanese-inspired Boro stitching, we’ll build texture, layers, and story with every stitch. No machine needed—just a needle, thread, and a passion for repurposing textiles with intention and creativity. Perfect for anyone exploring fiber arts, eco-conscious sewing, and thrifted textile techniques.
