Mending project: my beloved scarf

It's a pretty holey old scarf, but it's made of such a wonderful textile I'd never throw it away, so I've just decided to mend it.

I started with securing around the hole, with a basic running stich.

Then I simply started to use weaving to make up for the lost textile.

After finishing half of the vertical strings I knotted it at the back side. I have not seen any tutorials how people usually knot the loose string away so I just show you here, how I usually do it.

You just simply knot the thread to a stable older sewing two times.

Then I continued with the vertical part with a different colour.

Next the horizontal red threads.

This is how it looks the finished mending, I choose colours that match with the scarf's stripes so to look nice.

A bit more progress on my "doodling" weaving. I'm learning that I really like the look of hand spun yarn in weaving... #tapestryweaving #weaversofinstagram #handspunyarn #handdyed #handdyedyarn #weaveweird #weaverfever #handmadeloom

Mid week play. My Valentine gave me a beautiful textile collage book filled with awesome inspiration for weaving projects. I came home from work tonight with more paper tapestries on my mind. These paintings were taken from black and white studies during my 30 Day Painting Challenge in 2016. It felt great to take scissors to them ✂️! #abstract #tapestry #paper#weaving #weaversofinstagram #weaveweird #weaverfever #handwoven #wallhanging #blackandwhite #limitedpalette #flaming_abstracts #weavingwellington #happiness#studiolife #poppydodgeart

Lately I have been working on my sewing and weaving skill, and here is my newest finished project.

I used weaving technic to visibly mend and to patch the big hole on this cloth.

Actually the mending has a really nice texture, so this ad so much uniqueness to this simple textile, that it is became quite decorative too.

As you can see it was really damaged, and even when this cloth was new, it was really loosely woven. Because of this, I used thick yarn, and always stabilised the patches a little bit over the edge of the hole, just to make sure it will stay in it's place.
