Mmm the white thread on the white linen, it's pretty. ๐Ÿค

A little bit of further mending on the Shirt of Theseus. I got this linen button up shirt as second hand maybe some 15 years ago and have much worn it since, and I've patched it up so many times now.

@writerethink Thereโ€™s a subreddit for visible mending that has beautiful (although sometimes intimidating) examples. Iโ€™ve been planning to visibly mend a moth hole in a vintage Pendleton โ€˜49er jacket for several years, but itโ€™s a little scaryโ€”esp. when I see artist-level embroidery on various platforms under the #visiblemending tag. :-)

#visiblemending on seamless underwear. They are glued, and the glue fades with repeated washes.

Done in minutes to save about 8 euro.

#visiblemending a brown stain resisted a second wash. One of my most decorative attempts.

Done in twenty minutes. A t-shirt this quality and brand starts at 15 euros.

Happy Spring, everyone! ๐ŸŒผ I couldn't bear to part with my favorite (but very worn-out) old jeans, so I decided to give them a little DIY refresh.

Iโ€™ve put together a step-by-step tutorial and a video on the blog. Grab your needle and thread! ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡
