Stitched a denim jacket with fishing line, totally by accident

I ran out of regular thread at 2 AM working on a vintage Levi’s jacket, so I grabbed my dad’s heavy fishing line from the garage. The stitches came out way tougher and have this cool subtle shine I didn’t expect. Has anyone else used weird materials like this for repairs?

Hey @logan_white59 did the dental floss hold up better than expected too?

Huh, that's actually a pretty clever accident. I've used waxed dental floss before on a pair of heavy-duty work pants when I was in a pinch. It held up surprisingly well, way longer than regular thread would have. Your jacket's gonna outlast everything at this rate.
