#MayDayMending Fighting capitalism by mending this jacket rather than buying a new one (and, uh, repeatedly pricking my fingers with the needle because I'm bad at sewing, and posting about it because I need a break after, like, 10 stitches). #mending #mendingClothes

Finished patching the elbow of my sweater, which was getting very threadbare.

My knitting/sewing experience is nonexistent, so I'm really pleased with the result! It's not perfect, and the yarn is a little too thick, but the sweater is usable now.

And even if they're not the neatest stitches I've ever seen, they're definitely the neatest stitches I've ever *made*

I'm trying to reinforce the vulnerable spot before they even can be worn through.

I took a length of yarn and wove it vertically through the loops on the backside at the ball of the foot. Kind of mending before the hole has a chance to appear. It's completely invisible from the outside.

In about 2 or 3 years I'll know if this works ...

Step 2 - repairing a hole

I used a new to me technique - there are several videos about this on YouTube, that's the one I used as reference

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmR_9cBHLgI

The hole was several rows high and covered several colors so I searched for a color that was somewhere in between of the several shades of pink - it matches better in real life than on the picture

The technique works pretty well, but I had some trouble making the loops the right length

Plan for today: do some mending.

And by writing it here, I'm putting a tiny bit of pressure on myself to actually do it and not just grab my knitting and do that.

I hope it works ...

Ask me in 10 hours what I accomplished if I haven't posted pictures my then.

I #sew the ends of my hoodie sleeves. I don't know whether to see another line on the ends.

It's not too neat but i don't really care.

My hoodie is super old but I'm not gonna throw it cause it's got personality. The big green patch was done on a machine by my sister after I got myself caught on a part of a truck when I worked in a warehouse.

I bought this bubble-hem skirt some 15y ago, from a maker, possibly in Barcelona (my memory fails me.) I guess the materials are: wool (mix?) painted (can it be acrylic paints?), some velvet mix on sides, light denim on back, striped cotton inside.

Looking for tips and knowledge for handwashing, what not to do? Should I be brave and just do it?
I will also have to do mending on some seams & zipper, that I do know how.

I try to take care of and invisibly and visibly mend my clothing so it would last in use as long as possible. This practice took a whole new step as I tonight started experimenting with how I could mend some regular cotton socks.

I have a pile of old, more or less worn down socks that have been waiting for me to try to figure out how they could be fixed. This first experiment is reinforcing a spot which does not yet have a hole with some sewing thread.

This is very time consuming but also kinda satisfying. But already now I'm learning that it would definitely be worth it to do it when there is just a smaller area in need of reinforcement.
