Giles PatersonI did some <a href="https://social.gilespaterson.com/tags/visiblemending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#visiblemending</a> on my old <a href="https://social.gilespaterson.com/tags/hebtroco" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hebtroco</a> jeans. My bony knees had worn a hole in one leg, so a bit of yellow canvas (left over from my slippers) came in handy as a patch. Some white stitching to emphasize the hole came next. I would have done more but I got bored. My jeans live to see another day!

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" target="_blank">#sashiko</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sewing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/visiblemending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#visiblemending</a>.

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" 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" target="_blank">#sewing</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/diy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#diy</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/visiblemending?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#visiblemending</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/embroidery?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#embroidery</a> <a class="u-url" href="https://pixey.org/@sewing@a.gup.pe" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@sewing@a.gup.pe</a>

SatuKorjauskohtaamiset edistävät resurssiviisautta, kun esimerkiksi vaatteemme saavat lisää käyttöikää ja uuden hankkimiselta vältytään. Väitän, että etenkin yhteisöllinen korjaaminen opettaa myös arvostamaan jo olemassa olevia vaatteita ja esineitä. Yhdessä korjatessa keskustelu kääntyy luonnostaan kulutustottumuksiin ja kollektiiviseen tarpeeseen vähentää luonnonvarojen kuluttamista meillä länsimaissa. Yhdessä korjaaminen on ihanaa! Korjauskaupungissa olemme todenneet, että korjauskohtaamisissa saa enemmän aikaan kuin yksin kotona. Korjaamiselle on varattu oma aika ja paikka. Mistä sitten löytää oma korjausyhteisö? Olen korjannut yhdessä niin kolmenkymmenen kuin yhdenkin ihmisen kanssa. Ehkä matalin kynnys on silloin, kun ehdotat jollekin tutulle yhteistä korjauskohtaamista vaikkapa kotonasi tai jossakin avoimessa epäkaupallisessa tilassa. Korjauskaupunki syntyi, kun etsin somessa korjausyhteisön perustamisesta kiinnostuneita ihmisiä. Laura, Neko ja Anna vastasivat ja myöhemmin huomasin, että näistä entuudestaan tuntemattomista ihmisistä olikin tullut kavereitani. Sitähän yhteisöllisyys laajemminkin on, tuntemattomuudesta tuttuuteen siirtymistä. Voit etsiä korjauskaveria vaikka jakamalla tämän postauksen ja tägäämällä kavereitasi. Jo kahden kaveruksen korjauskohtaaminen saattaa olla isomman yhteisön ensiaskel. Neuvon ja mentoroin myös mielelläni alkuun omien korjausyhteisöjen tai uusien Korjauskaupunkien aloittamisessa. Mitä enemmän korjaajia, sitä ehjempi maailma! <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/korjauskaupunki?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#korjauskaupunki</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/repairingiscaring?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#repairingiscaring</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/visiblemending?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#visiblemending</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" target="_blank">#VisibleMending</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mending</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Sewing</a>

Sini TuuliaA little bit earlier today, this second hand shirt took a couple more steps towards being more patch than shirt... But it's a good shirt! It's amazing how much more worn the right sleeve is, what do I even do to cause it??<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/VisibleMending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VisibleMending</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Linen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linen</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" target="_blank">#visiblemending</a>

Lisa 🦔Successful <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/visibleMending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#visibleMending</a> day here! My best little terrierist (Puck) likes to dig when he nests himself into a cozy spot. And his favourite cozy spots are my spots whenever I get up. So my favourite reading chair had the fabric full worn through on the seat. No problem! I got a scrap of off-white denim in a thrifted fabric bundle recently that wasn’t large enough for anything other than patches. So I cut some random long leaf shapes and sewed them on with a feather stitch using up random colours of thread spools that were nearly empty. The extra patches that I didn’t need this time, I simply bundled up and tucked them inside the cushion cover* on the underside so they would be available whenever Puck inevitable strikes again.Voila! Zero waste repair that keeps an otherwise great piece of furniture out of the landfill and uses up scraps that would otherwise be thrown away. *sofa cushions: not just for hiding pharmaceuticals and funds!

Petra van Cronenburg<a href="https://biodiversity.social/@ClimateJenny" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@ClimateJenny</a> That's a very good analogy for the stitching!

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" target="_blank">#mathart</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/visiblemending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#visiblemending</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sewing</a>

marthasteriasFinished mending a bag today. It's an original late 90s messenger bag which has seen 6 continents, the Arctic and the Subantarctic... And countless countries with me. It took 8 washes to get it clean enough for the washing machine, washing out decades of accumulated dust from around the world, and memories from another life. Then a few hours of mending torn places.
