#patchworkmending

Learned how to mend bare threaded cloth and cross hatch mend holes in knit woven cloth last year. It’s been kinda cool to give life to my cloths that would normally be waste at a land full. I wish fashion was made to last longer but I’m glad I can make it last in my own way.

For this project I used embroidery thread and a large darning needle and my darning “loom” is just a wood coaster I had on hand with the fabric taught to the wood with a band.
These are a pair of sweat pants I’ve had for about 2 years.
