Multi-rip pitmend, with horse. And happy #mendsday to youse. I've been off here for AGES. Do you do that? Feeling weirdly guilty about it. But I've been more writing than mending. Reached part of book that's about actual sewing so: mending again! This here's the left arm of visible mend done many MANY years ago. Now off to operate on inadequate right pit. Will post. #visiblemending #pitmend #runningstitch #patched #sashiko #ish #patchiko #slowstitching #slowfashion #vintagefrock #williwear #80svintage

Happy #mendsday mendfriends, I've missed you! Been in hospital situation with poor mr visiblemend (MSSA infection on spine/ bacteremia excuse tmi) which translated to darning situation: his cardi (now mine, he is slightly darnphobic), done the front in most restrained palette- swipe for close ups. Now reckon I'll go colorcrazed on cuffs & to celebrate he's home #darning #visiblemend #visiblemending #slowstitching #hospitalvisit #menditation #slowfashion #consciouscloset #ribknit #lambswool #cardigan #sweaterweather

Part the first of epic mothmeal (last post) - a handy hospital visiting stint helping (poor mr visiblemend done his back in; day 4 here...) - I should be writing but can't help darning - it's all very 19th century. Ps all youse who say dump the thing - I can't! It's 100% Scottish geelong lambswool, by a friend's now defunct label, went vintage in my -well, his-- closet. The closet of knitwear doom #darning #mothpocalypse #geelong #lambswool #ribknit #vintagecardigan #wentvintageinmycloset #visiblemending #slowstitching #slowfashion #wip

Hey vintage hounds - you got the Gem app yet? It finds anything but smartly, unlike certain sites called @Etsy - because it's by Liisa @nyc_looks who really REALLY knows her stuff. I'm extra biased because this here's a screenshot of me on its blog today -link in bio. That old cuffdarn is on a bargello cushion cover by my mother - she never did finish it. Gem app in App Store; ig here @gem.search you're welcome #vintageheaven #vintagestore #vintageshopping #revolution #visiblemending #slowfashion #slowstitching #darning #bargello #clotheshavesouls

Trying to cover up shoddy darn done on shaky subway without specs with -behold!-new beloved MEND ring. It can resemble 'END' ring or 'MEN' ring, neither being message I wish to convey with finger but worth the risk... #mend #mending #mendring #visiblemending #visiblemendring #shoddy #darn #darning #subwaystitching #slowstitching #fasttrain #slowfashion #mendingmayhem
