a long rectangular darn patch with pale golden yellow yarn going left to right and white yarn going up and down. The weave of the yarn forms a repeating white diamond pattern on a golf field where the corners of each diamond connect. There is a single stitch of white in the centre of each diamond. On the edge of the darned patch, a single stitch is extended from each from forming a tall row of yellow gold yarn on the left and ride side, and small white bars of stitching on the top and bottom of the darn.
Using the same white and pale yellow gold yarns as the last darn, this one is an oval shape darned patch with a basket weave pattern. The oval is split into unique quarters: one all white, one checkered white and gold, one all gold, and one checkered gold and white.
A small circular darn about the size of a penny is woven into the floral pattern of a green woolen blanket with golden brown flowers with white details. The circular darn shares similar colours so the blanket with a simple green and white checkered pattern.
A green and white square darn is woven onto the opposite side of the same blanket. This side of the blanket has a golden brown background with green florals and white details woven into the flowers. The darn shares a similar green and white and has a zigzag weave in it. The zigzags look like a series of chevrons on top of one another: thick green, thin white, thick green, thick white, and repeat.
Here's a few more pictures of my. favourite darning mends on my sisters campfire blanket! Besides the huge long hole, there were lots of little holes and singe marks in the blanket that were fun to mend.

Friday's pop-tab jewelry workshop went great. We had a few last minute sign ups, so we ran it.
Admittedly, I've been exhausted and feeling really down lately, but teaching and crafting with these folks was exactly what I needed.

Visible mending on a pair of summer pants, got some chemical stuff on it so I covered the stains with patches and stitched around those. 🪡

Embroidered red stitched lines along side broken faded old silkscreened red lines and white swords.
Micah Ulrich's Nine of Swords illustration that I'm using to restore the image on my shirt with embroidery. It depicts black robe wearing reaper wearing a crown on a black background. The inside of the cape on the reaper's robe has stars and the moon shining. At the reaper's feet are a red lorel of leaves, and behind him is a black sun with red liniar rays. Floating above the crowned reaper is nine white swords creating a chevron pattern with the peak above his head.
Finally getting back to a personal project. I got this shirt years ago from Micah Ulrich, but over the years the print has started to fade - so I'm trying to embroider it back. I'm not amazing at it, but it's looking better than faded.

behind a white button on camo patterned pants you can see the thread wrapped around the base of the four threads holding on the button. The wrap helps keep the button tight while also maintaining a small distance between the pocket and pocket flap when closed.
Pictured are two bright mismatched buttons on camouflage cargo pants pockets. The buttons are white and a marigold yellow.
I've been off work since Monday and today is the first time it actually felt like it. I spent part of the afternoon practicing sewing buttons on my flower combat pants.

First big mending project, excited and apprehensive!
It's a poly wool blanket of my sisters that she got too close to a campfire with. She asked me to mend it for her for her birthday.

This beloved backpack came in for a zipper fix, but I added a fresh layer to the worn-out bottom too—here’s to a longer life! Grateful for customers who let me try new things.

Some more visible mending, the initial mend with pieces of fabric on the inside was too bulky which made it uncomfortable to wear. I hope all these tiny stitches are strong enough. 🪡
