Some more visible mending, the initial mend with pieces of fabric on the inside was too bulky which made it uncomfortable to wear. I hope all these tiny stitches will be strong enough. 🪡

Two more holes mended on the old socks, they're getting more colourful with every mend. 🪡

I bought these jeans secondhand and thought I'd just mend the holes, turns out the fabric was kind of weak so I ended up spending lots of hours stitching... I like how it turned out though... 🪡

I am working from home and to keep my hands busy while listening to a scientific article I have mended two of my underpants. Funny how they all break at the exact same spot. Anyway, feels good to prolong the lives of my clothes and extend the time between new purchases!

Mended a lot of holes in this sweater, it looks like the moths held a dinner party in it...

Tried to tackle my fear of mending zips in items by fixing the zip in my old down jacket. It was a nightmare getting the old zip out and tough work for my sewing machine getting the new zip in there but, whilst it’s not perfect its in and I’ve learnt a lot about the process.

I’d bought three zips as replacement options and couldn’t choose so ended up combining two which looks great.
