Often, I used them for <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/VisibleMending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VisibleMending</a>. But now I'm inspired to make something else with them ... so many possibilities!

Alien_SunsetThe Llama's favorite shirt recently developed a small patch of holes on the back. being a favorite shirt meant that we couldn't just leave it, so we discussed options & a small Ladybug was settled on. the inner patch is from an outgrown shirt of similar patternthe stitching is a bit messy as this was my first time working with waste canvas on doubled t-shirt material. but we are both very pleased with the outcome.<a href="https://dice.camp/tags/visibleMending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#visibleMending</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/crossStitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crossStitch</a>

How cool! I'd seen their website before but I didn't know they were on Mastodon, too. Hitomezashi patterns can be randomly generated like this, but that does make actually putting them on fabric harder, I'm thinking! <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/sashiko" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sashiko</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sewing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/visiblemending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#visiblemending</a>.

The back of <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/hitomezashi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hitomezashi</a> sashiko is supposed to look as neat as the front, with the excess thread tucked between two layers of fabric.

Sebastiaan Ammerlaan 🇳🇱A birthday present I got. I wanted a stencil for <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/sashiko?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sashiko</a>. (I'm bad at drawing grids, especially on fabric.) This was what I got—the local sewing shop apparently recommended it. You use a hot needle to poke holes into the plastic, then I pinned it to my fabric and used a heat-erase pen to draw dots. I started out going row by row but then thought of a different strategy, as I'm connecting the dots with a ruler, anyway. Promising results, so far! Though the hot needle poking part was a bit tedious. <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/sewing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sewing</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/diy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#diy</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/visiblemending?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#visiblemending</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/embroidery?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#embroidery</a> <a class="u-url" href="https://pixey.org/@sewing@a.gup.pe" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@sewing@a.gup.pe</a>

Sini TuuliaHave been smoothing my wrinkled brain by doing a little bit of elaborate mending. The ratio of patch to original garment on this old skirt continues being in flux! Just slapped on offcuts of the hat facing fabric, went around with machine stitching, and attached floppy bits with hand embroidery.<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/VisibleMending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VisibleMending</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mending</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sewing</a>

Al ⁂Years of kids putting their feet on the arm of the couch wore the edge out. Nothing you can’t fix with a needle and thread. We still have some patches to make in the seat leather but that’s another project.The cushion in the background is made from a reused woollen blanket.<a href="https://sunbeam.city/tags/visiblemending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#visiblemending</a>

Petra van Cronenburg<a href="https://biodiversity.social/@ClimateJenny" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@ClimateJenny</a> That's a very good analogy for the stitching! First I lay the <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/scraps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scraps</a> like a paper or mixedmedia <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/collage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#collage</a> (I started with paper art journals where I also embroidered things). For the children's workshops in our cultural heritage centre I carry always a treasure box with scraps for their collages, they adore to discover the <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/fabrics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fabrics</a>.

Gwen FisherHitomezashi sashiko cuts the surface into a tiling that can always be colored with exactly two colors so that the two colors never touch. My first round of stitches are large, so I filled in half of the space with tiny cross stitches in navy blue. This highlights the two-coloring of the tiling. (Yes, there’s a mistake in the geometry, but it’s working perfectly as a patch.) The fabric for the patch is a vintage piece of woven silk, from a collection of a seller’s samples, and I used the pattern woven into the silk as the grid for my stitches. This is now a patch on a pair of old bluejeans to give them new life. <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/mathart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mathart</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/visiblemending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#visiblemending</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sewing</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>

PapyrusBrigadeMore visible mendingMy old lumber jacket is fraying along the sleeve seams, collar and cuffs.Here's one sleeve done. I laid a long scrap of monk cloth along the seam of one sleeve, and embroidered it on with various coloured lines, mostly in cross stitch. <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/VisibleMending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VisibleMending</a>

0gust1I’ve just mended a well loved (and worn) merino alpine technical hoodie (holes and failing seams), with red sashiko thread and old wool socks (themselves with holes beyond repair).It took me some time to remember how to properly do the « blanket stitch » :) but it was the right choice (elasticity, edge management, aesthetics).Pretty pleased with the result, we’ll see how it holds!<a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mending</a> <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/visibleMending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#visibleMending</a> <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/sashiko" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sashiko</a>

discontinuity<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/visiblemending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#visiblemending</a> in progress on a sock. I'm using a ridiculous material: Silk/mohair lace weight yarn. I hope that won't have unintended consequences because I'm gonna wash it with wool stuff.I'm doing Swiss darning to preserve the stretch. Tempted to buy some neon pink darning yarn next time I go to the fancy yarn shop.
