January vlog: studio reset, new year thoughts, steering away from Instagram & mending snippets
Hello, here's my first vlog of 2025 and first one up here on RUclips! It's a pretty scatty one to start with (sorry about that) but if you make through to the end you'll get to see a satisfying discreet repair on a beautiful red cashmere jumper :)

How to: visible mending using parachute stitch for sportswear
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.5 месяцев назад
Hello, I hope you're all really well. It's time for an almost part two video for these leggings - and this time we're looking at the parachute stitch. This technique can be used on tons of different fabrics, but I've found it especially great for stretch fabrics. I hope you enjoy the video, and as always would love to hear from you if you try this technique out. Repair details Item of clothing:...

Sportswear and stretchy fabrics can be so fiddly to handle because of how much they move around as you work with them, but I've found that the right tools and very gentle sewing make all the difference.

    Funny because just yesterday I was cutting open and rolling all the brown paper bags I've gotten from supermarkets. I always roll up the packaging I get from packages, too, and reuse them for other projects. I hand-make junk journals that I give away so I am always looking for free things to make the journals out of. But I also love visible mending and find your work is so meticulous.

    Hi, do you have any tutorials for how you tie the knot to secure the threads in the first place? I've dabbled in cross stitch and embroidery, but I'd really love to learn a more practical application of those skills like mending. Is it a similar technique?

    Hi. I’m looking for something similar, but, that can be seen on both sides of the fabric. I have some holes (small 0.5mm to 1.5cm) in a double sided bed cover and I have look for circles like the ones you made and some stars, but, they only work on one side. Someone told me about a “spiderweb”, that would be the same on both sides, but, haven’t been able to find how to make it online. Do you have a video on something similar? Would be great if you do.

    I love slow stitching. I mend the g’kids’ clothes. My daughter bought me Visible Mending book which I haven’t delved into yet (I’m a mixed-media crafter, so lots of things to do!). That big knot at about 12:52 reminded me of the line in the movie Ever After, “how can one love a pebble in one’s shoe?” My mom used a light bulb as a darning mushroom; even with seven kids running around the house, she never broke one.

  • @saratyrberg8193
    @saratyrberg8193 2 месяца назад

    Love this! Just gotten into darning, but what do you do with the ends? Weave them in somehow? Tie knots and then weave in the ends? I imagine knots could be irritating in some spots, but I don’t really know what else to do

    • @slowstitchclub
      @slowstitchclub 2 месяца назад

      You can do either! I tend to weave in the ends to the fabric on the inside, but if it's a loose garment you can use knots too

    To repair a garment, it has to be of repairable quality. Poor people buy poor quality, not to mention that the market is flooded with low quality anyway. We need to be reworking those garments more than repairing the better ones.
