Tools for turning torn textiles into opportunities; handmade tiny looms for mending and other mending supplies. Make do and mend. In other words, make lemonade!

This was a fun one! I got to do three of my favorite mending things: 1) a truly invisible mend, 2) cannibalised a hidden spot on the garment for exactly matching thread and 3) duplicate stitch with variegated silk (to mend my thread harvest spot, in this instance).
I’m continually impressed by the properties of this silk! This sweater is cashmere and because this silk is a woolen handspun it matches the floofy texture very well. You cannot feel any difference! I’m feeling the hidden visible mend as part of the invisible mend process. I think it’s because invisible mends are the ultimate accomplishment, but also kind of unsatisfying because you can’t see the results of your labor 😅 This feels like a good middle ground.
Still learning how to keep the thing in frame. This beautiful scarf has been in my mending pile for over six months, even though it took less than three minutes to finally mend it. Always funny how that happens.
