Visible Mending of Woollens I’ve been cheerfully darning and repairing lots of items this week. An ex-colleague of Mr Conkers, remembering the visible mending I’d done on one of his jumpers, asked if I could repair some…

A pair of hand knit fingerless gloves. Gray with burnt orange tips. They tragically have a big hole in the palm from when the owner wiped out on some ice

Do any of my #knitting friends know a good tutorial on how to mend these gloves? #knitters #makedoandmend #visiblemending #darning

Two garments strewn across a bed. One denim of light beige coloring, the other a dark greyish-green fleece. Both freshly hemmed.

It's late. I'm exhausted. However, I got a lot of mending done and done did it well!!! Some of the pieces I've had for over a year and haven't worn for over a year because they required mending I was too lazy or distracted to do. #makedoandmend #mendlikeyourlifedependsonit

There’s something about #visiblemending and #upcycling my daughters’ torn & stained clothing with #embroidery to give them new life that is so deeply satisfying. #boroboro #kantha #patchwork #makedoandmend #creativemom #homeschoollife #handsewing #satisfymysoul #reclaimit #scrappdx #create #artsy

Another job done 👍
Fixed the tear in my Castelli gilet. It's not a pretty job and if it was just a cheapy I'd have slung it out, but Castelli ain't cheap. The material isn't easy to work with either and to make life just that little more awkward I used invisible thread 😖😁 #Cycling #MakeDoAndMend

I've been spending a wet sunday doing some repairs, including the rather fiddly job of fitting a new zip to the leg of a pair of bibtights.
The D2D cycling bib tights are a favourite pair. New zip put on and all sewn in so hopefully it won't come off again 🚴‍♂️👍 #Cycling #MakeDoAndMend

Time for my annual #MendingSpree ! Instead of buying stuff in the post holiday sales, why not spend some time repairing things you already own? I got the sewing machine out and started with this beloved dressing gown today. #MakeDoAndMend #repair

Last project this year finished, I have another set like this that needs some work, lovely set of oak drawers, with some nice details, like the little dovetail joints and brass handles, I've done some small repairs and refinished the wood.

I simply seamripped the Potholder, used the pieces as templates and cut out new fabric. Then I sandwiched the new fabric between the pieces of the nitten, right sides facing and sewed it all back together. Took 10 minutes.
I sewed the binding on by hand.

Had finished mending the 2nd slipper late last night. It had a lot bigger holes, and one on the inside, but managed to close them both nicely #VisibleMending #WabiSabi #Kintsugi with fiber #FiberKintsugi #Crochet #FiberCraft #MakeDoAndMend

Hand knitted mittens in dark Grey with a light grey circle pattern all over and the thumbs are striped. The mittens each had a hole and that hole was fixed and then a heart in teal yarn was embroidered over it.

Was getting our warm things ready for the season. I made theese mittens years and years ago. They have a knitted lining and are so warm, but I noticed a hole in each one. So I fixed them.

What do you think of my patch? Only my second attempt at paper piecing. I've got tons of cotton scraps I thrifted this summer and I found some paper piecing in them and my wheels got to spinning.

Tilted navy blue hat with a large blue net flower and several small yellow felted flowers. Currently being worn by a felt pumpkin who is also wearing a yellow flower felted necklace to match. The overall look is vaguely 40’s but not entirely. Wholesome femme fatale.

I made a hat. Hairband, spare cushion cover (shaved off the bobbles with my new lint shaver) and some scraps. #wedding #recycling #scraps #makedoandmend #sewing #needlefelting

Happy International Repair Day!

This is one of my favourite repairs.

I’m spending the day teaching darning, which feels very appropriate!
