—spent days #altering a t-shirt that never fit well but has great colors. I recut front and back (adding panels to the lower sides) before #sewing it back together. I still want to bind the neckline and mend all the holes. Button craft thread on cotton.

—I last posted about these #corduroy pants for #mendmarch2025. I’m reinforcing the entire #threadbare backside with internal #patches and lots of #runningstitch. Progress is slow but I hope to wear these again in the late fall and winter!

—another internal #patch on these #oldjeans, primarily using #runningstitch. I especially wanted to highlight three circular spots that I imagine were my daughter’s fingerprints from when she was small.

—a #mend from 2023 on these #oldjeans (1st and 2nd pics) held up for about two years but needed #repair again (3rd and 4th pics). I also #patched a big rip higher up, taking fabric from my #olddenim stash. More to come!

100 day stitchbook day 95, I really love this experiment of layering running stitches, might use it in mending some time. 🪡

A photo taken from a low angle shows some running stitch crossing a map and dark base fabric. The colours of the threads mirror the colours of the map.

Added some #RunningStitch to this sample with a bit of a map of Greenland digitally printed onto fabric and some very textured fabric #HandEmbroidery
