In #Bärland wurden heute das x-te mal die Puschen geflickt.
Auf @idealistik ihre Art des #VisibleMending…
Ich mag, wie sie das macht. 💛
#Abseikling

Sehr sichtbar gestopfte Puschen, die eigentlich nur durch verschieden farbige Stopfungen an unterschiedlichen Stellen zusammengehalten werden, in denen Sannes Füßestecken.
Linksseitig noch nicht fertig vernäht, dort ist der offene Wollfaden noch an der Stopfnadel in den Puschen gesteckt.

Today is a day for #mending. I put on FOUR pairs of ripped pants this week.

Do you prefer to put patches on the inside or outside of the fabric?

All worn in the same spots, around pockets and the front of my thighs. I should stop wiping my muddy hands on my jeans when I'm landscaping... #VisibleMending

@adam_wysokinski try the hashtag #visibleMending ! 😁 @f800gecko @rl_dane

Visible mending on jeans with self-made patches, silk stripes, and wild coloured embroidery.

#Visiblemending Esta cestita, con ese color de pantalón vaquero, estaba pidiendo a gritos una reparación con el hilo amarillo de los pantalones vaqueros, no me digáis que no.

Este tipo de cestas vienen en sets de unos 5 o 6 euros. la reparación fueron cinco minutos y llevaba meses y meses posponiéndola.

Una cesta hecha de cintas de tejido sintético. No están cosidas sino termoselladas, y una de ellas se ha despegado del marco metálico. Al fondo pueden verse unos dados de rol, un teclado mecánico y enseres de costura. La luz es artificial, y mala para una foto; es una imagen nocturna.

La cesta reparada con punto de cadeneta amarillo. Está llena de toallas pequeñas y se ve el mismo teclado mecánico detrás.

No sé si cuenta como #visiblemending o como #mending a secas.

Reparo trapos viejos como una forma de practicar técnicas. Por ejemplo el zurcido se me da bastante mal, pero si lo hago con un hilo muy malo sobre mi trapo más viejo, con manchas de té que no limpia ninguna lavadora, no siento que esté desaprovechando materiales.

Tengo dos trapos con agujeros demasiado grandes para aguantar un zurcido y lo que me estoy planteando es coserlos el uno al otro.

Estos trapos pueden costar entre 1 euro el trapo y 2,50 el pack de 4. El arreglo fue rápido, menos de una hora.

Un trapo de cocina muy viejo, con dos remiendos pequeños en forma de zurcido, uno arriba y otro abajo de la foto.

Una reparación larga, en forma de espina de pescado, en un roto de unos diez centrímetros sobre el mismo trapo viejo.

#visiblemending del día y mi segundo experimento de #sashiko.

La cara interna de los pantalones se estropea por dos motivos: el roce constante y que los pantalones estén mal cortados, y la zona tire. Estos estaban arreglados con entretela de la que se pega con la plancha, pero lavar la despega así que les hice una segunda reparación.

Me llevó un poco menos de dos horas (porque deshice y volví a empezar) y unos pantalones nuevos costarían alrededor de treinta euros.

El mismo pantalón del revés, con un parche negro.

My experiment of the day – before and after. It could be prettier, but functional is enough for now. 😉 Finally no more earphone flakes!

An earphone covered in fake leather that's flaking off.

The same earphone, wrapped in red yarn to keep the flakes at bay.

Instead of tossing this piece due to a small imperfection on the front, I’m turning it into something better than new with hand embroidery.

This project is part of my ongoing effort to reduce clothing waste and embrace more sustainable, intentional fashion. Upcycling lets us reimagine flaws as features—and I’m excited to share the transformation process with you. 🌿🧵

The pads of my headphones started to wear out, so I decided to crochet a replacement. Inspired by @Tryllesokker@helvede.net. #crochet #VisibleMending

Die Hose hat zwei neue Flicken bekommen und wird langsam aber sicher zum Gesamtkunstwerk.
Wirtschaftlich lohnt sich das natürlich überhaupt nicht und allein, dass ich die Zeit für so etwas habe, ist ein Privileg. Aber es ist ein gutes Gefühl, Schönes zu schaffen.

Yes, a new pillowcase isn't that expensive but I don't want to have to buy some, decide on which one to get, take time for it. Mending the old one just seems so much less stressful.

#NachKaputtKommtSchöner #VisibleMending

A dark blue pillowcase has a rip along the edge. It is mended: there's a red and white striped piece of an old (and past repair) duvet cover behind the tear which has been attached with white stitching inspired by sashiko. In this case it's mostly rows of running stitches and some crosses.

Blev typ nöjd över denna lilla elden?

#visiblemending

I should have done this a long time ago, but I only had wool yarn on hand. This bamboo sock yarn is perfect for the purpose. And it doesn't matter if my dyed hair stains them pink!

I have half a mind to decorate the top of the headphones with the same yarn, but I don't know what motif... My embroidery skills are limited. Anyone have ideas? #visiblemending #repaircafe

A pair of grey noise cancelling headphones with very worn out foam pads. The foam is peeping out of the split and peeling faux leather. One side has been repaired by wrapping it in pink and red yarn. The other side is a third of the way done, a trail of yarn still attached to a needle. The ball of yarn is pictured next to the headphones.

@Alien_Sunset I mean... I know you know about #sashiko. Is that not something you'd want to use here? Here's my jeans that I've been adding more sashiko to every few weeks now (🙈).

The crotch area is especially worn. A common problem for Dutch cyclists. I found putting sashiko everywhere distracts from the sashiko there 😅

There's some blue water-soluble marker staining that I used to draw the grid. That'll wash out next time I wash them.

The front of the charcoal jeans. Many more patches of sashiko are visible.

The back of a pair of charcoal jeans with some sashiko-style patches on them where rips have formed. There is some blue water-soluble marker staining where I drew a grid on the fabric to aid with the sashiko

A close-up of a part I'm particularly fond of, with the suggestion of a mountain range in sashiko

@BrambleBearWhuffling @swachter Some cool stitch work here as well!

@swachter

Great example of real life visible mending! Nice stitch work!

Mine is pretty awful still, but I have plenty of ripped cloth to practice on.

You inspire me🌞

ok, #visibleMending , I need some ideas

My jeans recently acquired a long rip along the edge of my back pocket.
I plan on putting a patch on the inside, but want to embroider over the rip as well

I found this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Visiblemending/comments/uj1b0s/patched_and_covered_a_rip_next_to_my_jeans_pocket

which is cute, but i'm very much NOT a flowers type of person

& this:

which looks cool, but i don't know how well it would work along the entire length of the pocket.

does anyone have any other ideas?
i keep coming up blank 😕
