This vintage blanket had many rips and holes. I've repaired it with lots of different techniques like a big cosy darning sampler. It is one of the examples I show when delivering workshops.

Probably an ongoing collab with moths.

As Saturday marks #MendInPublicDay, we look at how stitchers around the world are repairing their clothes with pride, turning a once-hidden process into a bold fashion statement. #stitchitdontditchit
