As every reader of this blog knows, I love to mend. And here comes another jeans mending moment. I have a favourite approach, namely, rip the base of the pocket out and replace.
These jeans are well past the point of invisible mending. They are covered in mending. And so…
And there you have it. I did not have matching top stitching thread, but my machine comes with a triple straight stitch. So I threaded up with the best match, and once I had it firmly in position and stitched on so I could be confident–unpicking triple straight stitch is NOT a fun time for me–I triple stitched it on. I am not sure I can see where the original top stitching stops and the triple stitch begins, to be honest!
This is a subtle mend on a singlet I made for one friend, that arrived at my house with a different friend. It had worn through under the arm, so patch on the inside and slight stitches to be seen on the outside. I also mended a seam come apart with some simple hand stitches. Over a game. Perfect.
Just about invisible, hurrah!
