—yet another mend to the front of this T-shirt. I wish I could say my #mending pile is shrinking, but it remains substantial, with four items of clothing that I wear regularly currently in exile. Button craft thread held double on rayon.

—I don’t know why it took years for me to #mend three holes in this sweater, except that my workload in the fall means that I have very little free time. I’m glad I can wear this again! Embroidery thread on cotton.

—this t-shirt has started to develop little holes on the edges of the painted design. I’ve finished the first round of #mending and expect there will be many more! Button craft thread on cotton.

—I last posted about these #corduroy pants for #mendmarch2025. I’m reinforcing the entire #threadbare backside with internal #patches and lots of #runningstitch. Progress is slow but I hope to wear these again in the late fall and winter!
