I just saw that there's a whole hashtag for #visiblemending

Back in art school, when I could more easily get away with dressing like a full-on clown, I would use embroidery floss to weave into worn out bits of old jeans. Sew in old chair fabric to replace bits of a jacket. Replace a denim jacket's sleeves with flashy suit lining from a thrift store suit.

There's a part of me that wishes there were plentiful pictures of that period in my life. Most of me, though, is really glad.

Darning socks with a Speedweve loom

I love this little device. The weave is tight and long-lasting. Colours are fun to play with, and it's a good activity for fidgety hands.

Original "Speed Weve" darner was released in the thrifty 1940s:

Now sold by Alexon Ver, from Ukraine (www.etsy.com/shop/Alexonver)

I didn't want to deal with customs, so ordered from a Canadian shop (TheGreenThimble.ca).

3 mended socks: A green & orange 5-toe sock, mended under the ball of the foot in a weave of green, orange and blue A purple & yellow 5-toe sock, mended under the ball of the foot in purple & yellow stripes A thick grey hiking sock, with 2 mended patches in progress: one under the ball, and one at the heel.
Sock mending in progress. Photo shows the purple and yellow sock with Speedweve loom attached, and mended patch about 1/4 complete. Taken on a lovely warm May afternoon, sitting on the front porch with the sock resting on my legs.

:boost_requested: Hey #TampaBay area handy folx! I am actively looking into starting a local “popup” Repair Cafe that could be hosted at least monthly, probably in rotating locations around the greater Tampa Bay area.

I’ve been trying to find something along these lines where I could volunteer but there don’t seem to be any active groups. So - I am willing to be the wrangler for this! However, I am basically a hermit and I don’t have a network of local folx who might be able and willing to join me.

If you are in the greater Tampa Bay area and handy with fixing stuff*, and you would be willing to occasionally spend a day** helping our community extend the life of their stuff, please reach out to me?

I darned the holes with the honeycomb stitch. I did each of the three by its own starting with the lowest one. I used all purpose darning yarn.

It was a bit tedious because I used a small needle and a thin yarn. The first two rows are very important. I darned these on the still intact fabric. The biggest hole took almost three hours to darn. It didn’t lays as flat as I wanted.
Let’s see how it holds up.

The picture shows the bottom of a black backpack. There are patches in blue yarn.
