this cardigan was hand-knitted (pure wool) by an Aunt of mine —I first saw her wearing it about 25 years ago.
Fren has inherited it, but managed to put a right proper very ragged tear in the left sleeve (undoubtedly while gardening)
Fren did a good job of guessing the colour (without even a sample) while in a woolshop.
I tried to knit a patch to place over the hole, but after several hopeless attempts (yeah… nah) abandoned the knitting option and I just ended up darning it.
Mission Accomplished — no landfill, plenty of wear left in the cardie, and memories of Aunt on tap !

Some mending I've recently finished

El #visiblemending más cutre de la historia, pero por algo hay que empezar. He cosido el asa de una tote bag enorme que llevaba meses posponiendo. Es una bolsa comodísima para llevar cosas grandes que no estaba usando porque le faltaba un asa. No sé cuanto costaría una nueva, probablemente una con mismas dimensiones y estampado no se pueda conseguir. Gracias a @laguiri por colgar habitualmente sus remiendos y recordadme y animarme a hacer este, porque aunque sea feo, aguanta peso y es funcional :)

A little bit of #VisibleMending this evening. I was supposed to be patching up tears along the inside waist of my hiking pants, but this sandal needed emergency repairs more.

Das nächste spontane Nähprojekt steht auch schon an: Der Rocksaum ist in die Nabe vom Hinterrad gekommen. Ärgerlich, weil das Kleid neu ist.
Zum Glück ist es aber "Boho-Style". Ein paar Flicken schaden also nicht. Eher im Gegenteil.
Ich muss nur noch entscheiden, welchen Stoffrest ich dieses Mal verwende.#Handarbeiten #Nähen #Flicken #DIY #visibleMending #upcycling

I fixed a sweater with sashiko mending technique. Kinda satisfied with how it looks.

Patching up a moth eaten merino shirt with the remains of another merino shirt that was beyond repair.

@gannet That is so cool! Do you have two needles threaded at once and do a circle at a time with each of them to keep the two colors lined up?
I started learning embroidery to help me mend clothes, but so far I haven't attempted anything bold on shirts and dresses. There's a part of me that's still scared to "ruin further" something that's already torn. I've mainly darned socks and patched jeans, which I find less intimidating.

There aren't many new photos on my phone lately. That reflects the fact that I'm now only running errands. But I also did some mending today. Visible mending is my form of rebelling against my upbringing; _everything needs to be neat and proper_ Oh to hell with it! Productive day.

I can't fix everything but I can fix these pants I ripped going over a chain link fence to retrieve a beach ball.
I got to use the new-to-me Necchi Supernova on the free-motion quilting bits, after failing to execute my vision successfully on either the Juki (not made for it, not its fault) or the Bernina (don't have the right foot, don't wait to wait three weeks for it to get ordered). I'm trying to improve my free motion skills ahead of tackling the #cherryChoreCoat project again...

Remember me asking about visibke mending for a L-tear in my linen pants?
I combined the recs I got here with some crafts I already knew how to do (cross stitch) for a 🌻-result that makes me very happy today.
Let's see how well it will hold!

Und nochmal #visiblemending am Hosenboden: Von innen passenden Stoff eingelegt und dann ordentlich Zacken mit der Nähmaschine drüber.
Ich hoffe, jetzt reibt außen das Garn aneinander und nicht mehr der Stoff.(Ich hatte Kind2 gefragt, ob ich stattdessen einen festen Knieschoner-Stoff außen draufnähen soll, aber der macht Geräusche beim Laufen.)

Der MS Wissenschaft war durch starken Wind im riesigen Aufblasherz ein ca. 80 cm Riss entstanden. Nach dem Ausstellungsbesuch in Duisburg leistete ich erste Hilfe. Mit unzureichenden Mitteln (wortwörtlich mit Bordmitteln gefixt :blobcatgiggle: ) hässlich genäht aber jetzt hält das Herz für Bonn die Luft.
