Fixing my jeans. Does anyone else mend? I don’t think I see it much in my everyday and it would be great to know I’m not alone! #mending #mendingclothes https://www.instagram.com/p/CY_TICaqkMp/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is my first attempt to mend a piece of knitting that got ripped (swipe for "before" picture). I used a contrasting yarn on purpose, so that the patch would be visible - reminiscent of Kintsugi (金継ぎ, "golden joinery"), a japanese technique of repairing (ceramic) pieces in a way that the break and repair is not hidden, but treated as part of the history of the piece. . I've written a short blog post about it: https://knitting-and-so-on.blogspot.com/2020/07/darn-it-or-kintsugi.html . #makedoandmend #mendingmayhem #mendingclothes #mending #mendingmatters #darnit #darning #visiblemending #clothingrepairs #knitwear #kintsugi #slowfashion #reducewaste #knittersofinstagram #knitwear #lovedclotheslast #makersofinstagram #clothingrepair #learnsomethingnew #flicken #reparierenstattwegwerfen #darningwoollens https://www.instagram.com/p/CDHUgmOJ87A/?igshid=155tj4vkvj1vn
Finally found the time to attempt to darn the Christmas party dress I made last year and OH BOY darning is exactly as difficult and time consuming as I thought it was lol. This smallish hole took me about an hour to fix. Luckily the dress fabric pattern makes this fix pretty discreet. Overall I’m happy with the results but now I have to do the big ass hole at the neckline 😭 #handsewn #mendingclothes https://www.instagram.com/p/CnrCTtzuapE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
It is easier to mend denim on my machine but today is Sunday, slow time. So I chose a movie and hand mend hubby's work jeans. Not pretty but sturdy enough. Still good wear left in these. #mendingsunday #denimmending #savingworkjeans #mendingclothes https://www.instagram.com/p/CYhuusdJIbS/?utm_medium=tumblr
