When your Lil Bub sweater gets a hole, it better be the most magical mend you've done, yet!

It's hard to see the purple yarn stripes between the yellow ones but I attempted a plaid mend! It was fun!!

also this sweater is double knit and the inside didn't get a hole, just the top layer. So to make it extra secure I tacked down all my thread ends:

This mend isn't going anywhere.

I think she likes it 🤭

cute lil mend

this is all duplicate stitch over an area worn very thin. I've discovered that making foundation strands and darning over holes of very teeny tiny machine knits makes my brain hurt and is almost impossible to see so the current m.o. is to get to them before the hole forms. though dup. stitch is also hard when it's this small. several times here I accidentally did two rows in one/did a row twice the height of the original, if that makes sense. but it all worked out. yknow. i made it work out. that is the beauty of mending however you please.

yes the background is a picture of bellwort that I tore out of a magazine with plans of dream garden collage-making, thank you so much for asking

I only just learned that bellworts are also called merrybells??? how infinitely more pleasant is that?

Was thinking about doing Shinji and Kowaru but someone already did that, so here's my addition to this new meme

Moss and lichen inspired repairs on my jacket. Some of my oldest and newest work lives on this thing.

So I've had this joke in my head for a couple months (at least), but hadn't found the right spot to make it. Today it is complete.

A hole in my jeans?

Hmm? What's this?

A Patchypus?

REPAIRRY THE PATCHYPUS!!!?!!!

I can't stop lol.

I've been meaning to mend this hole in my favorite sweatpants for a while now. It's not a big hole but I wanted to practice sachiko stitches/boro mending so 🤷 I did!

Something incredibly satisfying about knowing your craft and the confidence that goes with it. Just the casual “yeah I could make that”. Want a band tee? Yeah I can embroider my own with the lyrics I want. Bridesmaid dress too long? Yeah I can hem it. Need new slippers? Yeah I can crochet a pair (and give them bunny ears). And of course it’s not perfect but nothing beats that feeling of being able to craft your own solution with your own two hands
