trashloveFixed a hole in a hoodie by first mending it roughly and then sewing a crochet flower on top of the mend. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sewing?src=hash" title="#sewing" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sewing</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mending?src=hash" title="#mending" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mending</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/applique?src=hash" title="#applique" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#applique</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/crochet?src=hash" title="#crochet" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crochet</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/stitching?src=hash" title="#stitching" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stitching</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/diy?src=hash" title="#diy" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#diy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/handmade?src=hash" title="#handmade" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handmade</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/queerartist?src=hash" title="#queerartist" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queerartist</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/disabledartist?src=hash" title="#disabledartist" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disabledartist</a>

jendeferQuestion for those who sew... I have some flannel pajama bottoms with an opening at the front that I want to close up. There is doubled-up cloth there, like where a zipper would go, but no zipper. What type of stitch would you use to close this?My mending is very un-trained and mostly visible sock darning or reattaching buttons. But this seems like there should be a proper stitch type to learn for sealing two overlapping flaps of cloth neatly.<a href="https://dice.camp/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sewing</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/stitching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stitching</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mending</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#diy</a>

launshaeone year ago i was asked to participate in a crafters interview which didn’t get published. i was recently reminded of it as i remembered mentioning i was working on restoring a blanket.thought i’d look it up today and decided to just publish it on my own, rounding it up with more thoughts on the blanket mending process.fun fact! i discovered i submitted the interview and finished my blanket on the exact same day, one year apart!<a href="https://launshae.com/blog/an-interview-a-year-on-and-blankie/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://launshae.com/blog/an-interview-a-year-on-and-blankie/</a><a href="https://kopiti.am/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sewing</a> <a href="https://kopiti.am/tags/crafts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crafts</a> <a href="https://kopiti.am/tags/mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mending</a>

Sini TuuliaWhen you've mended the same threadbare but still serviceable thing so many times you need to do it colourful, for morale. Terrible photo, but I already put the damn thing away and can't be bothered to dig it up again! 😆 <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mending</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/VisibleMending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VisibleMending</a>

Steven HoeferAnyone have a guide on how to identify well-made clothes? I was taught long ago, but I've forgotten the specifics and would not describe it well.The reason I ask is that cheap clothes are usually much harder to mend. The allowances are small, there are no extra buttons, the materials barely hold a stitch, it all kind of wears out at once.Better made stuff has enough *there* there to put it back together.(Bernadette Banner's vid has been linked a number of times, thanks!)<a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sewing</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mending</a>

eladnarraQuestion for more experienced/knowledgeable hand sewers — what's a good stitch for attaching a stretchy patch to a stretchy garment? I assume I need something with some elasticity, that can be worked around the edge of the patch.

KnittingMittens (She/Her)I emailed my library the other day about hosting a mending workshop/free repair clinic. They are willing to help me organize and host it! 🥰 I've been trying to get involved in the community without much luck, so hopefully this will be successful and just add some positivity to this year. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mending</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repair</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sustainability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sustainability</a>

Ann-MiPatched my husband's jeans with some <a href="https://mastoart.social/tags/sashiko" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sashiko</a> style <a href="https://mastoart.social/tags/mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mending</a>. I'm interested to see how it holds up in the laundry. Worst case, I'll get to try another type of stitch and see. I have yet to rinse away the grid guidelines I drew onto it, but they will vanish in water. I tried to choose a playful color and a pattern that isn't too flashy, but which also provides some strength.

laguiriEl año pasado, empezando en verano, reparé trece prendas u objetos textiles. Todas las veces que pude, apunté el precio de la prenda u objeto comprados nuevos. He ahorrado aproximadamente 330 euros, una media de 26 euros por prenda, o visto de otro modo, unos 70 de media al mes en prendas que no he tenido que sustituir. Al principio tardaba mucho tiempo, ahora tardo menos. Algunas de las prendas más baratas son infantiles de fast fashion o ropa interior. La más cara es una mochila. Una cosa se ha roto de una forma que no merece la pena reparar (la cartera; la uso con la cremallera rota). No es mucha ropa porque solo hago esto un ratito del fin de semana, pero me sirve ponerlo con esta perspectiva. <a href="https://queer.party/tags/mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mending</a> <a href="https://queer.party/tags/visiblemending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#visiblemending</a>

Sini TuuliaWell, that should probably hold for a little bit. Probably some 40 minutes of actual leisurely sewing with two strands of embroidery thread, after I finally got into my eldritch podcast!<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mending</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/VisibleMending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VisibleMending</a>

Sini TuuliaAnd here's the octagonal patch, too. It supposedly puts less strain on the thinned material instead of the sharp points of a diamond or square patch... But most noticeably the corners are easier to control and won't feel as bulky. Just cut a square, fold the edges, and then fold the corners and trim!<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mending</a>

Sini TuuliaAnother one of my linen shifts has torn at the elbow! This one is about ten years old so it's not surprising, but at this rate I'll have patched elbows on all of them. 😄 Guess I'll try to fix this one in a quick enough way that I can still put it in the laundry today. Let's be good and do a diagonal patch, too.<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mending</a>

Sini TuuliaQuite some time and multiple distractions later: A sleeve, fixed! It's not pretty but it's no longer full of holes nor see-through in that specific bit. Good enough.<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mending</a>
