First time doing mending using a speed weave. I'm practicing on old and worn out dish towels. I made some mistakes, but the process is fun!!

What a cool idea, @FanCityKnits ! I'm going to try that on a sweater that needs mending! @fiberarts

Quick little mend on an undershirt of mine. It was already mended in other places but now the neckline is becoming a little threadbare too. I just covered the holes with some stitches. Not sure what the stitch is called but I godown into the hole, come up through the fabric and back through the hole and up etc. So it doesn't pull the fabric closer and put extra force on it.
Patched a hole in my favourite jeans this evening...
haven't done any #embroidery since being in secondary school >30 years ago.
Turned out OK considering 😂
I was kind of "bleh" but managed to mend an undershirt that had ripped. It was a delightfully repetitive activity and I think it did me some good to do it!
I was really in the mood to do some #mending work! My partner had a sweater in a small knit fabric with 3 holes under each arm, so I went for it!
The patches are fairly low visibility though my thread had a little more shine to it than the fabric. Not gonna lie, I am actually really #proud of this work!!

Want to get into repairing my own clothes. Does anyone have any good resources on where to start?
Today's task is to repair this pair of jeans. It's been on a to-do for months but it's been shorts weather until recently.
Legs are getting chilly so time to fix 'em up!
This is the 1st few stages. Getting the patch and aligning it (poorly).
