Jack C.@kenSwinson I finally found the time and the right piece of clothing for one of the patches I got from you. Really happy with how it came out, and it hides the stain on this hoodie perfectly 😅
Jonathan LamotheIt has come to my attention that my favourite jacket is falling apart. I would like to repair it for two reasons:
I have no opposition to #VisibleMending.
Suggestions?
AI6YR BenRandom lesson I have learned as I have been learning how to sew (which I violated for my entire life until now). NEVER JUST PULL LOOSE THREADS OUT OF YOUR CLOTHING/ETC. ETC. -- always cut them off! If you pull those threads, you are unraveling... SOMETHING. #sewing #repair #clothingrepair
FrugalGamerMending can sometimes be thought of as a chore, but I find it really relaxing and enjoyable, especially when I've got a good podcast to listen to.
This time around I'm repairing socks. I don't usually feel like store bought socks are worth it, but I have a couple that I really like, and they've lasted longer than normal, so I thought I'd give it a try and see if it helps.

Mike 🇬🇧 🇪🇺I should have taken a photo, but didn't - there was a stall on the market today with two ladies offering minor clothing repairs while you waited.
What a great idea, and how very French!
mariahMore darning adventures! Machine-darned my favorite jeans this time. The thigh rub area (ladies know how it is).
I swear this thread was a perfect color match on the spool 😅 it's a little pale on the fabric but hopefully eyes aren't drawn to my crotch too much because of it #darnit #clothingrepair
Sunday project: first time darning!
Found some *magically* matching thread to my bf's patagonia climbing pants in my thread hoard. Took a few hours but they're good as new now (maybe better)!
Also fixed a frayed pocket seam while at it. Not my straightest line ever 😅

LeoniekeAfter the takeover of our company by another competitor, behind the scenes a full blown integration plan was set up and is running.
As employees not immediately involved in the integration, we are encouraged to host or join so-called "Culture Circles", where in small groups - during company time - you talk about a variety of topics. The topics are brought in by the hosts, and this afternoon I will host/mediate a circle on the topic of "Fabrics & Textile Arts".
No idea what everyone will bring to our hour, but I have some samples ready, because basically I hope we'll all talk about our hobbies that have something to do with textile/fabric and such

Buff Dinosaur FriendshipIn 2021, I was inspired by @SocialGaff and @rabbithearth to try using a speed weve, a tool for quickly making darned patches that dates back to the 1940-50's. I received one in 2022/2023 but didn't get to put it till use till more recently. Here are my first two attempts that took me 1-2 hours.
In a following post I will include some of my notes and advice
