can you give some headcanons about pip and ravi?? they're so underrated

Pip is very invested in listening to every true crime podcast she comes across

Ravi is tired

"hey wanna listen to like... music?"

"is there murder in music i think not"

Ravi mumbles something about no body, no crime but Pip isn't listening

in my headcanon Ravi is a big Taylor Swift fan and Pip is confused

(Cara and Ravi bond over this though)

not everything is about murder with them though

sometimes it's robberies

no seriously Pip becomes obsessed with robberies because sometimes they lead to murders

Ravi likes to joke that Pip's lost it but he can't help but be interested too

Ravi and Pip spend a lot of time on the couch as Josh watches tv

they have a running commentary on how absurd cartoons are

so Josh challenges them to come up with a better show

they have an entire storyboard that Ravi ends up throwing out of Pip's window because - of course - there's a murder involved

"murder has no place in this wholesome story about the friendship between a lion and a mouse"

"so the mouse doesn't get eaten?"

Ravi loves to cook for Pip

which is convenient since she doesn't really focus on things like... food

Ravi is really scatterbrained sometimes but planning is Pip's forte so she sends him texts throughout the day like "you have a dentist appointment at ten" and "don't forget we're meeting Connor and Cara for dinner at six"

Ravi likes to point out that this is why he has a calendar

and Pip counters with the fact that he never adds anything to it

it's an ongoing argument

Ravi takes Josh out to hang at least once a week

he remembers how special it was when his brother took him out

and he wants Josh to have the same

Pip adores this, and if Ravi is being honest, it's one of the reasons why he takes Josh to the arcade or the movies or to the playground

when Pip goes to college Ravi does this more and more until Josh just calls him his brother

the three of them make their own little family and their parents love it

okay that's all i can think of so

If someone ever calls me “Sarge” I’m marrying them on the spot.

I’m irrationally serious.

tumblr forgets that their user base is basically just a bunch of alley rats huddled around a slice of cheese

Visible Mending

Introduction:

Visible mending is a decorative way to fix up an item. Instead of trying to make your mend as invisible as possible, the idea is to make it part of the garment's design.

Visual mending is not a single technique: it's more of a mindset. If you've got an item you love, it deserves to be mended, and if you're going to put that love into stitches, why not show them off?

That being said, there are some specific techniques that are popular with visible menders. Let's take a look!

Sashiko:

Sashiko is a type of traditional Japanese embroidery that is used to both decorate and reinforce fabric. In visible mending, sashiko is often used to cover up holes with patches or to reinforce thinning fabric. This technique uses a variation on the running stitch.

Embroidery:

Regular embroidery is also a popular technique to accentuate your mends. Check out my embroidery 101 post to learn how to get started. You can embroider patches, or use embroidery to hide or accentuate any stitches you've made to fix holes. Embroidery's also a great way to cover up stains.

Patches:

There are many ways to add patches to a garment. My tutorial on patches is a good place to start if you want to make custom-shaped patches to sew on top of your fabric. You can also sew your patch on the inside of your garment and have it peek out from beneath the hole you're trying to fix. Fun ideas for this are lace or superheroes.

Darning:

Darning is a technique used to repair holes in fabric by using running stitches to weave extra fabric over the hole as to fill it up again. While traditionally darning is done in an invisible way by using the same colour of thread as your fabric, you can also use contrasting colours to accentuate your fix. Check out this written tutorial on darning by TheSpruceCrafts.

Conclusion:

Visible mending is a creative way to fix up your clothes and give them some personality at the same time.

You should be proud of the fact that you took the time and learned the necessary skills needed to mend your clothes! Show off what you did!

A fun side effect of wearing these obvious mends is that people will notice them. They'll remember your fixes the next time they're faced with a hole in their wardrobe, and it will make them more likely to try it for themselves.

These are just a few ways to visibly mend your garments. Want more inspiration? Check out Pinterest or r/Visiblemending on Reddit.
