My mending adventures just keep rolling. In between the boring old mending that I do regularly–stitching fastenings back on, repairing falling hems, re-stitching seams that have popped… these mends are much more fun.
I did also take up these hiking pants for my beloved (by about 6 cm). They have those zip-off legs that allow you to convert the pants to shorts, and a complex arrangement down by the hems. In the end I took them up just below the zippers and the change did not show at all.
There have been stretch pyjama mends…
Torn dress mends…
Mending of beautiful pillowcases so soft and buttery and thin I used most of an old linen shirt in an effort to keep them going…
Hand stitched patch on a floaty fine dress.
This dress was missing a feature fabric…
Worn, exquisitely soft quilt cover mending. I used a hand stitch I learned in Girl Guides (for canvas tent mending) to pull the edges of this tear together, then applied a reinforcing patch on the inside and machine stitched it into place.
It’s piling up a little…
