The first step of mending my hand sewn kirtle has been completed!
Should the first step really have been "sew around the edges of the rips" before I applied the patch? Yes, but I didn't think of that until the patch was already on. 😅
I'll deal with that tomorrow.

Jag försökte göra något slags sol-mönster när jag lagade denna skjortärmen. Syns inte så väl då tråden är tunn och hade varit snyggare om bottentyget också varit orange, men det håller!

#MendingMonday

Spouse handed me some shorts he uses for gardening and asked if I’d be willing to mend them. They’re quite familiar to me; I’ve patched the waistband so I could replace the button before.

I trimmed off the worst of the fringey bits on this hole, and then decided it had better be a patch instead of a darn, because that’s a pocket and his keys wore through, and I thought a darn might not deal well with keys.

I bought a pair of cotton/linen pants to wear to MIL’s memorial service because I didn’t have anything appropriate. The first day I wore them after that, the cat snagged them.

Of course.

I could have dug out the tiny latch hook I bought for sweater snags, but I thought I would document how to deal with it with needle and thread.

Some of the photos are a bit blurry, but I think it’s possible to see what’s happening.

Today I've fixed (sewn) two bags two laundrybaskets (yes, again 🙄) and a pair of pants 🙂

Give me all your best #MendingMonday posts everybody. Maybe you fixed a bug in a computer program, maybe you took care of the flat on your bike. I wanna hear about it!

Yesterday I had a good #mending run:
I sewed up a hole in the armpit of a t-shirt.
Fixed a hole in my knitted slippers, and sewed the cuff back on my coat (also sewed up the holes in the lining where a mouse got at it)! Not bad for a morning's work.

This evening it's back to my Star Wars scarf, which I've nearly completed the first page for!

Today, after a long hiatus, I got back to #MendingMonday .

I have three pairs of beloved sweatpants from the same manufacturer, all of which suffer from elastic waistbands that have stretched into uselessness. Today I opened up one of them, sussed out the situation on the inside, figured out how to fix them all, and put a temporary drawstring in one pair so I could wear them.

I am so looking forward to having these garments back in my winter rotation!

This #MendingMonday I finished mending the moth holes in my sweater vest #knitting WIP. Now I can start on solving its WIP problem!
