The Repair Shop is keeping me sane through a trying time in U S history. I have become so fond of the whole cast…
The Repair Shop is quite simply 👌 the best series on British television in many a year. Keep going team.
My late, great, friend Barry Blue was a most excellent guitarist. When we jammed together and his tongue came out I knew there was something serious on the way.
Totally get that comment. 👍
Dom, this is a great idea for a Repair Shop spinoff…. Lessons from the Repair Shop. RS experts give lessons in fixing, cleaning, maintaining stuff….
As a WW2 baby I remember so well darning socks using the wooden mushroom for shaping. We used to listen to the plays on the radio or just chat and relax together making and darning. So much more relaxing and sociable than playing with IT equipment.
Warp is the thread that determines the length of fabric and the weft is the thread that weaves across the warp threads. So correct terminology is a warp ad weft. Weaving is the term that describes the process. Well done for mending, love it.
My favourite. Love this sort of thing. Wish Amanda and Julia did a vlog. Well done Dom❣️
I must keep an out for the blue patch on the Repair Shop.....the person in charge of continuity will love it. Thanks for posting.
Thanks so much for this. I've darned (badly) for years, but this was an amazing tutorial. And my darning loom is on order already. Thanks, Bears, Dom...
I have been designated the person in the family that does all the mending for my sons, daughters and grandsons! They call it my sitting down jobs while they get on with other things!! I still use my mothers wooden darning mushroom to put under the hole or tear, I’d be lost without it!
Same here only I'm the Doc Mcstuffins of my family. If there's a plushie with a hole, or a plushie whose been decapitated, I'm the person that my nephews, my sister, and SIL turn to. I've fixed
Small holes
A custom made spiderman plush doll who was decapitated
Had to resew on Mario's hat and fix a small a previous hole between his legs.
But also minor repairs to plushies. There hasn't been a plushie that I can't fix!
Jay ,Steve, Dom,you all done amazing jobs brings happy smiles 😊 to us all ,
I was thinking the exact same thing the other day - that the different mediums use very similar methods sometimes - because Dom was repaiting that wonderful tram seat and he had to remake one of the legs. To do so he had to make the metal bend in a curve and so he cut out little slits - or triangle shapes of the length of metal before he bent it, so they would "collapse" in on themselves and let the metal curve perfectly. The same thing is done in sewing - you cut little slits or triangle pieces out of the fabric before you sew it in a curve. - like for a sleeve or neckline for instance. It eases the material together in the same way,. Metal and fabric - who'd have thunk? I adore this show! Wish I could send you my two beloved 1940's teddies, a very tattered and beloved Mrs. Tiggywinkile, and my 1970's hobby horse Mustang. If only I was english! Cheers from the USA.
Vanessa at the Repair Café I volunteer with did a lovely visible darn on my favourite pair of ancient Craghoppers trousers. I love it!
Brilliant seeing the Bear Ladies, you are all so telented. You'll have to find something that one of the other experts can fix. I'm all for recycling clothing, my wife is a genius at turning warn trousers into cargo shorts, complete with pockets of every shape. 👍
Thanks, Dom! I have been thinking about just this thing in the last month, and had no idea how to do this, short of just stitching a new piece of fabric over the hole, and I was not really satisfied with that level of repair. Bravo, Repair Shop!
So glad I found the repair shop on youtube!
Really good, I love the two that repair the teddies, they are so respectful of the bears or whatever they are doing, and thanks Dom
That was a fun and unexpected episode. It reminds me of all the sewing repairs I need to make. You could come out with a line of Ranalah embroidered or embossed leather repair patches for clothing. Like a badge of honor. Enough of our throw-away society.
Well said.
I do my repairs more simply - iron on patch from the inside, then zigzag a lot with the machine.
I absolutely love this show and every single artisan there.
I've been mending/darning my wife's/daughters and now grandchildrens garments and soft toys for years. I get tremendous pleasure in doing the work and knowing I've kept things serviceable
My grandfather was a merchant seaman from about 1911 to 1918 and was very good at darning, knitting and sewing.
I truly appreciate this "Outside The Repair Shop" tutorial. I always learn something new from you all. I can't thank you enough.
This show is so much fun…artists in their various fields. I had forgotten that I learned to darn a sock…from my grandma…who had 11 children…
45 years ago I had a pair of seamans socks that wore out on the heels. With no prior knowledge I darned them with black thread on the white socks and I am delighted to see that I did them correctly.
I love this little contraption. Simplifies mending .I use a soft ball to do socks or an antique wooden egg.Absolutely love watching your show. Wish they had a repair shop here. I have a paper fan with a letter in Chinese on it from WWII that’s in desperate need 🇺🇸
Really enjoyed this! My dad was in the US Navy, he was taught to darn his socks by putting a tennis ball in the sock.
Thank you Dom and the rest of the repair shop family for there still being a reason to watch television in this day and age
Hey Dom, I think she ought to do a flower with a bee in recognition of your bee keeping.
Really a fantastic programme my husband & I watch it every week we really enjoy watching it the do such amazing job in repairing items for people ❤ jar,will,Steve, don,the Teddy ladies & all the others who works with them such devoted people brings a huge smile to people's lives thank u for such a joyful programme ❤❤
Dom you are doing a wonderful job. I think I will send you all my darning. Regards from New Zealand
Amanda has just mentioned a darning mushroom - what memories that stirred, in just a brief moment, of my Mum sitting by the fire of an evening using a mushroom to darn our socks. I still have her mushroom though I confess I haven't used it for a while. Thank you.
This brings back memories of learning to darn my socks at boarding school.
❤lovely to watch skilled crafty’s at work. Thank u for the wonderful tutorial.
It's time for me and everyone here at the children's hospital to say goodbye now thanks for coming to see us see you next time but until then be Happy be healthy and get well soon
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH ❤️😊❤!!!! I'm so happy that you have taken the opportunity to teach us all on RUclips land!!!! It's so sweet that you changed it up for him to get a better understanding. Also equating sewing and welding. This will be a great memory for you both!!!! Ps, my grandma taught me when I was very young so it's nice to get a refresher course!!! You are a wonderful and patient teacher!!! Thank you again and God bless you all!!! Love Heather Armstrong from Iowa USA.
I adore each and every one of you multi talented geniuses.
Oh my . . . This channel is SO delightful! I am SO happy I have subscribed! You are THE BEST! ❤️
Dom is so adorable❤❤❤
I agree with Amanda, sewing is therapeutic and I too get lost in it.
Dom, that little tool is like a mini weaving loom. Have you ever seen those big wooden looms where the threads form alternating strands so you can run the shuttle through much faster, no over-under counting. The shuttle stores the thread like a bobbin, but it’s elongated.
That WW2 spirit, make do and mend! If Amanda is insistent on a flower, how about a nice red poppy?
Wow, that was very interesting it was good you had a go yourself you’re all such very talented people
I remember my mum darned the worn out elbows on my school jumper, i was 7. Snooty bloody Pinner girl I had to sit next to in class said "Whats That?" , told all her snooty mates who took the wee wee. Ho Hum!
Looks like the common house moth has been at your shirt. lol. Love the patch work.
I’ve been darning some holes in my old socks and shirts. It’s really fun to do. Really enjoyed your video.
Love the repair shop and people making it, 😁👍🏻
Blimey that expression takes me back to Kitson College Leeds 1983 learning about the carcass of a printing blanket, weft & weave. Cheers Dom 👍🍺
Ah bless Dom, where would be without the Teddy Bear ladie's !!!.😀😀👍👍🐻🐻.
Saved the day!
There was a traingular tool with serrations which held aletrnate threads and by twisting you could make the "shed" while darning.
Excellent I love the Repair Shop.
Oh wow how lovely was this video Dom. Awesome job Amanda to his well worn with love favourite wool shirt. Given me the inspiration to repair loved clothes and darn socks. Thank you so much for sharing this fabulous video. Xoxo
Thanks suzi! I hope your keeping well
Thank you for sharing this. My grandma taught my dad to darn, so that he could mend his socks during the war. I wish dad had shown me. So now I have a clue what to do.
This show makes me want to own a clock, I have a worn teddy, I want cool ceramic art, a cool lantern and bikes and musical boxes and anything leather, a kaleidescope and I want to move to England!
The team work among you all is fantastic!!
Hi Dom So good to see you take on a new hobby.
This is one skill that I have yet to tackle. Always seemed a dark art until I sought out some YT videos. Now I understand the theory, I must try it in practice!
I hope you’ll give it a go!
Hi Dom, you are a star. Well done on all that you do in your own right. All your Repair Shop colleagues are an inspiration and when I'm not fixing stuff I love watching you all fix and teach us how to fix so many treasures. Keep up the great work.
Cheers
Big T
Thanks so much Tony, I appreciate it
Dom, so glad I found your channel. I love that you do this, it great to watch. Im starting to sew wallets. And bags using old shirts. Jeans, sweaters.
I wish there was a repair shop on the US.
I love everything all of you do. It gives me such joy, but I do cry with all the happy customers when they see there items they bring in after the repair.
I'm subscribed so I get updates!!! I get so excited!!! When people make purchases nowadays it's not an investment. When you have an opportunity to buy, buy something that's going to last. Like his shirt. You and he fixed it but also TAUGHT him and us with kindness and patience!!! Thank you so much for all you do!!!! Ps I'm sharing this on my site!!!!
We used potatoes for darning socks, when I was younger. I didn't pay enough attention to what I was doing and caused blisters on my feet. I learned though.
Sometimes the simplest things are eye-opening for me . I have done similar repairs but seeing her use the eye end of the needle to weave through instead of the point was one of those Why didn't I think of that , things.
What a nice lady, Dom. [Edit] Gotta like ladies, if something needs fixing they don't just reach for a hammer.
Just bought a really nice tool bag at the local flea market spent a couple of hours stitching it back together. It's now a great bag. I love sewing tbh, it's a good skill.
Thank you for this, I love the show !!!
So much fun!!! Thank you
A stitch in time saves Dom,😃😃👍🏻🤠
I love darning, but I’m very messy at it, learned some neat stuff from this. Thanks!
Hi Dom, great little video. My Father used to keep an old sock to provide the correct colour and style of thread to mend the others. You can also use a light bulb as a darning dolly but, as the guys in first place of work said, remember to turn it off first !!
Brilliant! Ask the ladies if they’ve seen Japanese mending art called Sashiko and Boro! ☺
Dom thank you and thank you the Bear ladys. We throw so many things away and it's great to see the repairs done.
Excellent! I had been darning my cold weather socks, coats, jeans, tent, etc. for over 30 years using mushrooms of three sizes (one is flat on top). Then, a couple of years ago, I bought two sizes of that hook loom and I have never looked back! So much easier to get it right - even in a cold tent in the Highlands.
💚🐇🐴💚
Link to the hook loom please!?
As Dom keeps wearing the jacket out, it will eventually become his coat of many colors.
Great watch - give it a few years and it could be the shirt equivalent of Trigger’s Broom 😉
How cool is it to have two teachers 😊
It’s a lovely place to be
Hi Dom, Very good, another string to your bow, (give it a try). All the best Brian 😃
I have my MumMum's (Grandmother) darning mushroom and the little gadget. Finally I know how to use it! Thanks Amanda!
Dom, if you have further darns necessary, perhaps use contrasting colours?
The Teddy bear ladies are beautiful souls .in 30 years time that shirt will be multi coloured 😂
Darn good repair that !
Haha!
Great demonstration, I shall save this for further reference. Grand video 👍🇬🇧
Thank you!
That was great Thanks so much for that video Dom and Bears!
Loved this video!
I literally wear stuff until it falls apart.
Anything made from natural fibres (usually cotton & wool) then goes into one of my compost bays & 12 months later is helping my fruit & veg to grow.
I watch your videos Dom, But glad to hear a new series of repair shop on the way
Loved this❤
Have to say Dom, did you not notice that Julie used the other nend of the neddle, the eye to make it easier to do and not catch the thread.
It is so nice to see things being mended. Not being granddaddy, but I grew up with my socks being darned and I HATE the throw-away culture we suffer from.
Many years ago I got a good tip from an older Irishman. Only buy one sort of sock, one style, one colour. You always have a pair of socks, if one sock gets a hole it doesn't matter.
Oh yes, if you work with metal, we've all got a favourite jacket like that, in the same state, for exactly the same reason, think I'm on the 3rd repair on mine but it'll do another couple of winters easy.
I think your next patch should be a red one! Love Amanda’s gadget, I just have a mushroom 😊
Once you have put a darn in,you have a one of one piece of clothing with character,very nice.
I remember my mother darning my fathers socks using a wooden mushroom, so nice to see those skills still alive
I do "remember when" at an assisted living facility. We were talking about darning "eggs". Mending was a given during the make do times.
Still got my mushroom . They should do sewing in schools again.
Or a true invisible mend where fabric threads are taken from the seam allowance blending the repair completely. Have to agree about merino being a fantastic product: a non-itchy wool light and warm and needing occasional laundering only. Good vid.
Thank you I really enjoyed that ❤️ x
Bit of a change of pace, but well worth it 😊
What a lovely video this is. My Mum taught me a bit of embroidery, but I can see that knowing how to darn properly would be a very useful skill to have.
Brilliant - I’ve a hoody I love to garden in which has warn on the sleeve a bit like yours. Always been rubbish at sewing but that made it seem achievable!
always found darning analogous (?) to welding, it's part of my winter indoor work load.
Much better than seeing teddy bears being stuffed.
I've done a little bit of darning but I didn't know you threaded with the eye of the needle first. I'm try that next time.
And having just watched Country File, there was a lady who was learning to weave her sheeps' wool and she had a weaving gadget very like Amanda's just a little bigger but it did exactly the same, lifting the threads.
Yes, it is better to send the needle eye through first so that you don't prick your fingers, and that you don't split the thread/wool/yarn as you are feeding the needle through. Those darning tools are great, but really only suitable for smaller holes. Good luck with your darns.
@@marieeaton-smith5168 thank you.
I have a mushroom, but recently bought a Speedweve, they're fabulous!
I'd love one of those shirts, they are awesome, i looked after one of your first videos! A little above my price point for now! When Amanda said "haven't you got another one"? I half expected you to say it took you until series 6 today this one off 😂
Love darning, and patching holes in jeans too. Such a lovely mend to do well. Great job, thanks for the tip about the felt too.
I have a jacket that has several visible patches and I will wear it until it can't be patched again.
