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 TH-cam! 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
มุมมอง 1.1K5 หลายเดือนก่อน
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:...

As always thank you to everyone on Patreon who helps to support these videos! You can join me over there for ad free videos, behind the scenes repairs and all things textiles and mending. 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. You mi...

I think the sweater collar height is actually really nice on you and with the lines of the sweater, the silhouette stood out to me immediately after you took the vest off, love it!
Ah thank you so much! It's become a real wardrobe staple 😀
Absolutely love this Skye! A really nice gentle watch <3 I've been considering scaling back my instagram presence too and slowly migrating back over here.
Thanks so much Kim, that's so nice to hear! I'll keep an eye out for videos from you here ☺
This is such a lovely vlog! And I loved getting to see snippets of your mending process.
Thanks so much Mindy! I'll definitely be sharing more ☺
I love the sweater you knit! Do you have a pattern? And what kind of yarn?
Thank you! It's the Cloud sweater by PetiteKnit and I used the Drops air yarn ☺
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.
So glad I'm not alone in this! Junk journals sound so cool, can I see what you make anywhere? Thanks so much for your kind words about my mending too ☺
Well done you! Congrats on the book, I will look for it.
Thank you so much!
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?
Hello, I actually don't tie knots with mending! I have a short with this scarf showing how I weave in the ends :)
You have such great style! Your videos are really amazing. I've learned so much! The sound of your voice and the soft music playing in the background are perfect. Thank you for sharing your time and talent.
Oh this is such a lovely comment, thank you so much! I'm hoping to do more TH-cam videos this year so this feels like great timing to hear that. I'm really glad you've found the videos helpful :)
Looks neat. The original hole will not increase in size?
Nope, it won't be able to extend past the new stitches!
Thank you! Just read your Well Worn book. Your videos are such a useful accompaniment to the book!
Ah thank you, I hope you liked it! I'll be working on more videos this year :)
I’m the proud owner of your book. Thank you so much for it! ❤
So happy to hear this, thank you! Happy mending 🥰
This is very helpful, thank you! I have mended several pairs off my own and my kids’ leggings, but I’m a far less stretchy or attractive way. So handy to have this, and the parachute stitch, in my “tool box” for future repairs :D
That's so great to hear, thank you! It's worked so well for me over the years :)
Lovely. Just added to my cart for future pay day
@@Justeenie oh thank you so much!! 🥰
I like your work
@@amritgunnu5845 thank you 🥰
Well done 👍
@@amritgunnu5845 thanks so much!
Thank you for sharing it's a shame the music is too loud though for people like me who are have hearing difficulties
Interesting video, but would have been more helpful if you'd started from scratch
I guess I'm "into" mending. Love these videos, I find them very relaxing and useful. Do you have any suggestions for what can be used if I don't have that wooden form? Thank you
Thank you! You can use a jam jar lid as an alternative :)
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. Thank you
A honeycomb darn would work well for this! I have a video for it :)
Amazing video me thinking I needed pliers and all sorts 🎉
Glad I could help!
What is the tool being used here?
Er ...a needle? Also pins & florist's foam 😊
Nice lesson! Now to "find" a piece of denim to use as a backing piece. I had some, but "someone" tossed them!
Instead of a thimble, I use a piece of heavy leather to push thr needle through. I suppose an old belt would work just as well.
This is beautiful, amazing work!
Thanks so much!
Invisible repair. I’d need a view from above to learn how to do the repair.
Apparently it's Swiss Darning and they're gonna do tutorials on it soon (saw a reply to another comment here).
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.
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
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
Awesome video, very easy to follow along with my own project. Thank you!
@@sttar_pegasus that's so lovely to hear, thank you ☺️
This is genius. Thank you. It worked. I’m so happy.
What is this procedure called how can I learn this?
@@shannahsnyder5653 this is Swiss darning - I'll be sharing videos on how to do this soon ☺️
@slowstitchclub my hubby buys store bought socks and I don't think it is knitted, it is so tiny too what to do for these?
What do you have underneath to stick the pins into? And where do you find pins with long heads? 💕🌞🌵😷
@@suzisaintjames it's just a kitchen sponge! and these pins are standard sewing pins that I've moulded heads onto using Fix It's
@slowstitchclub believe it or not but we don't have anything like fixit on Amazon USA
Looking for videos on how to mend a woven blanket (twill weave that reverses periodically) without a speed weave ie for a hole in a blanket and one of the first ones looks promising!🎉
I have a short on how I repaired a woven scarf that might help!
What about the loose (broken) ends of the original yarn? Doesn’t that have to be secured somehow to prevent further fraying?
Everyone on an airplane should be loaned one of these
最後の糸の始末の謎が解けました これを教えてくれたのは貴方だけです! ありがとう
Anyone know what kind of marker pins are being used in this short ? 😊
Hi, these are called magic pins! :)
@@slowstitchclub Thank you 🙏😊
Lovely! Perhaps a silly question, but where do you find the exact match for the yarn? TY.
Not a silly Q at all! Luckily the brand for this piece supplied a small amount of yarn for me (always worth messaging them to ask!) but in some cases you can also harvest yarn from the side seams
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.
These days woollen jumpers etc are quite cheap. Anyway lots of gorgeous quality garments at Op shops, Thrift and Oxfam wanting a new life ❤
Thank you for sharing these info 👍 I wish a good repair day 😉
Where are you camping at? I love the sound of rain on campers and trailers while sipping hot coffee and shuttle tatting away.
Omg thank you i finally fixed my school bag LOL
That's great!
Facts 🤣
Most useful guide I found, and I had to look through a lot. Thank you very much!
So lovely to hear, thank you!
Love it ❤️
Sooo cute ❤️❤️❤️ Mending is definitely the future !
Thank you! It sure is :)
Stunning work & exquisite needlework as always. Many thanks for sharing 😊❤
Thanks so much for your lovely message as always Michelle, so glad you like it!
How many stitches per centimeter when doing a running stitch. I have difficulty getting 4 in consistently
What if the zip is damaged in middle somewhere....
Very cool
Congratulation 🎉🎉
Thank you!
