EmmaMend of the day: I had worn down the lining on the heel of my slippers, so I patched them with a bit of felt I had in my stash. <a href="https://fedi.emmajuettner.com/tags/mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mending</a>

Sini TuuliaWhen you've mended the same threadbare but still serviceable thing so many times you need to do it colourful, for morale. Terrible photo, but I already put the damn thing away and can't be bothered to dig it up again! 😆 <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mending</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/VisibleMending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VisibleMending</a>

Steven HoeferAnyone have a guide on how to identify well-made clothes? I was taught long ago, but I've forgotten the specifics and would not describe it well.The reason I ask is that cheap clothes are usually much harder to mend. The allowances are small, there are no extra buttons, the materials barely hold a stitch, it all kind of wears out at once.Better made stuff has enough *there* there to put it back together.(Bernadette Banner's vid has been linked a number of times, thanks!)<a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sewing</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mending</a>

SteggySince I’m boycotting Amazon this week, I finally started tackling my mending pile. First up, socks. I’m a little embarrassed that I’ve reached the age of 50-something and I’ve never darned a sock before.

eladnarraQuestion for more experienced/knowledgeable hand sewers — what's a good stitch for attaching a stretchy patch to a stretchy garment? I assume I need something with some elasticity, that can be worked around the edge of the patch.

KnittingMittens (She/Her)I emailed my library the other day about hosting a mending workshop/free repair clinic.

AilbheToday's sewing will be alterations and mending. I need to take in the waist of my trousers, which means hand-sewing through multiple layers of denim or corduroy, so now I'm bleeding on my nightie. But when I've altered one pair of cords I'll get dressed and move on to mending a child's t-shirt. <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sewing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mending</a>

Dr. Anna LatourQuestion for visible menders: I have a much-loved cotton jersey top that now sadly has four little holes (two clustered together and two more just above the cuffs of the sleeves).I am looking for a way to rescue it by mending it. First I thought about doing some embroidery to cover up the holes, but I'm not sure how to neatly pull that off on a jersey fabric? I'm also not sure how to make it look good on the very busy print that the top already has.Now I'm thinking maybe I should just go to a thrift shop and buy a jersey T-shirt or something with a cool print (maybe polka dots in a cool colour) and sew patches of that fabric over the holes?Any advice or suggestions?<a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/VisibleMending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VisibleMending</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/AskingForAFriend" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AskingForAFriend</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Fashion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fashion</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Sustainability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sustainability</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Repair</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mending</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Clothing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Clothing</a>

Raye :tattoo_butt:There are other small homes scattered around on the sweater, but most are on the right elbow and upper arm area. I whip-stitched some of the small holes, leaving them colorfully-edged small holes.This is a 100% cotton Abercrombie & Fitch sweater, the sleeves fit me so well it's like it's a larger boys size versus a smaller mens size. There's a hole on the body I still need to do, and one on the left sleeve. This is the sort of super-comfy garment I have always preferred to wear over bare skin, and that will put this into the favored home clothing category.<a href="https://weirder.earth/tags/Mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mending</a> <a href="https://weirder.earth/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DIY</a> <a href="https://weirder.earth/tags/Sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sewing</a> <a href="https://weirder.earth/tags/Repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Repair</a>

Raye :tattoo_butt:Back in the fall, I got a cotton sweater at a yard sale for $2, and I knew it had holes in it. Here is my first visible mend made with a darning loom, and some variegated embroidery floss. <a href="https://weirder.earth/tags/Mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mending</a> <a href="https://weirder.earth/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DIY</a> <a href="https://weirder.earth/tags/Sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sewing</a>

Sini TuuliaAnd here's the octagonal patch, too. It supposedly puts less strain on the thinned material instead of the sharp points of a diamond or square patch... But most noticeably the corners are easier to control and won't feel as bulky. Just cut a square, fold the edges, and then fold the corners and trim!<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mending</a>

Sini TuuliaAnother one of my linen shifts has torn at the elbow! This one is about ten years old so it's not surprising, but at this rate I'll have patched elbows on all of them. 😄 Guess I'll try to fix this one in a quick enough way that I can still put it in the laundry today. Let's be good and do a diagonal patch, too.<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mending</a>
