#visible mending

[sockeye-run]

My all purpose, all terrain utility bag, purchased from a creator on TikTok (rip) has already begun to unravel. Which is really unfortunate, it was advertised as a shopping bag, so I did expect it to be more hardy, but it was sewn together with minimal, thin thread for whatever reason. So I mended it with some Sashiko peel and stick patterns from another creator I found on TikTok (rip), Socorro Society. I chose a nice, heavy, radiant red thread, and I'm happy with the result! It feels much more secure. I do think that, in the near future, I will have to reinforce literally all of the seams on this bag, but I guess I'll let fate tell me when it's time to do that lol.

Visible mending on the leg of my climbing pants! I want to replace all the mending I did previously on these with leaves n branches n stuff, I think it’ll look so much cooler

Tried my hand at some visible mending this weekend. Behold my terrible and adorable daisys! I love them!

I share my sewing wins on here, seems only right I should share my sewing moments of humiliation:

yesterday I accidentally sewed a greggs vegan sausage roll into the lining of a winter coat whilst mending the pockets

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

some visible mending I did on an old flannel recently! this was fun but took me so long to convince myself to do, Im very happy with how its come out though. The lichens are oak moss, bloodstain lichen, a third thats very common in texas but i forgot the name of, and then some lovely little algae (i love algae in theory but hate it in eutrophication ;v;)

Was looking through my photos and found this jean patch I did a couple years ago :)

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!!!?!!!

Idea: sew some cute little moths with scrap fabrics and sew them on holes you have on your clothes so you can keep wearing them :)

Embroidered a visible mending patch for one of my mom's shirts as a present this year. Made using the tiniest needles I could get my hands on.
