#visible mending

[vosling]

I'm trying out visible mending and my darning pattern is (vaguely) turning into a trans pride beta fish :>

Fixed my little round sunglasses. Cannibalized the arm from another favoured, but less-mendable pair. Filed it down until it fit. Screwed it in place. The copper wire is to prevent the arm from swinging out too far. Those are functional spirals.

a few new mends on the inner collar of my wife's shirt, as well as a redo of some old mends of a couple threadbare spots on the fabric!

I... forgot to take pictures of the old mends I had made, but trust me when I say you aren't missing much. they were very small and lumpy and I think overall tugging on the fabric so much that they were just making the holes worse... I think these will last a lot longer, and they look nicer too :)

This lovely old Bean Pole Jeans shirt came home with me recently, carrying softened plaid, years of wear, and a small project waiting for me in the sleeve.

I chose a reclaimed piece of flannel that held colors that felt gathered from the shirt itself: burgundy, faded blue, and a little line of gold, and I mended it slowly by hand, using thread that felt like it had been there all along.

Now it feels even more like mine. Worn, repaired, and ready for many quiet walks ahead 🪡🌿

Did visible mending on my denim dress with Sashiko stitches.

Darned a big hole yesterday. I've been noticing with each hole I mend, I get a little bit better. Imagine that, practice really does help lol.
