  1. @vicgrinberg Not linen, but #silk: I have one silk shirt and I recently applied #sashiko to it, with an iron-on repair patch on the back. I think it came out well and it's held tight, so far.

  2. Hey #VisibleMending people,

    any recommendations for manuals or tutorials how to mend a hole like this one in **linen** pants?
    Boundary conditions: it had to be done by hand without any special equipment (but I'm pretty good at hand stitches of all kind & don't own a sewing machine) and it has to hold a few washes, at least.

    For everyone else: please note I am asking people with experience in #mending or clothes #repair, not folks who point me towards something they found online or googled up.

  3. A quick #introduction using an obscene number of hashtags to hopefully reach people I want to be in community with! I make #art and #software and particularly like #linocuts and #embroidery and I also enjoy #visiblemending.

    On the tech side my pet topics are currently #datavis (currently looking at #publictransport in my area) and #rdf #ontologies (what can we practically and ethically do with them?)

    Would love to follow you if you're interested in any of these things.

  8. Today in Mending: the pocket of a secondhand Timbuk2 bag I paid a little too much for on eBay, but it was exactly what the kid wanted for an alternate schoolbag so ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

  9. @elizabethtasker a beautiful example of collaborative #repair and #visibleMending! (BTW, all embroiderers at our museum bring their own needles although the museum has the best materials. It's somerthing like 'wait, my handwriting flows better with my favourite pen'.)

    Nachdem Mamas Stopfgarn nicht mit der Belastung klar kam (Pilling bis Fadenbruch), nochmal neues (unauffälliges) #visiblemending mit einem festeren und farblich passenden Jersey und Garn von der Schwiegermutter in DDR-Qualität.

    Was tut man nicht alles für Lieblingshosen …

  14. @brib the removable cross stitch mesh for clothing is called "waste canvas" (excuse the amazon link: a.co/d/0bJu5Sgz)

    i've used it for #visibleMending on my son's shirts before and it's awesome: dice.camp/@Alien_Sunset/114274

  19. @ExtinctionR Try to learn some #VisibleMending ! It's simple, it's fun, and you become the designer of your individual style (nothing disheveled)!
    You can nearly endlessly use such #mendings and when the piece falls apart, cut it in scraps for becoming a patch for something else ... or bind several pieces to make an #artjournal!
    #SlowFashion and #repair mustn't be ugly. It's creative and connects people eg by patch swaps.

  24. More birds. My nephew specifically requested the last one, which I take as a win.

  29. @Stratski Thank you for the great thread! For fans of #visibleMending - you can use special needles for jeans and thick fabrics, that's better for the fingers. Sashiko patterns are great for hand stitching in such a place, of course, then on the outer side.
