#visible mending

[hopegrasping]

Let go of the idea that diy will inherently look shit. All your clothes are handmade you just don't see the people doing it.

kinda wish I had taken a photo of these before, but I’ve been doing some visible mending on my clothes recently :) the fashionable distressing had turned into slightly less fashionable gaping holes lol

thought it would be fun to try and continue the tree print onto the pants themselves to make it look like they were growing out—I’m not terribly good at embroidery bc I don’t do it very often but I think it turned out well!! yay :) I left some of the frayed edges in bc I liked the look, and I’m pretty happy with that decision \o/

Forever finding new holes in my mom's favorite sweater

I share my sewing wins on here, seems only right I should share my sewing moments of humiliation:

yesterday I accidentally sewed a greggs vegan sausage roll into the lining of a winter coat whilst mending the pockets

Pocket ferns! A big embroidery to cover one tiny hoke. Something's still not right with the lowest leaves, but all in all I'm really pleased.

I used two strands of embroidery floss, one yellow green and one mid green, because I didn't have the color i wanted. I'm glad I did; I love the effect of two different colors!
