how to: parachute stitch for sportswear
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: sports leggings
Thread: cotton embroidery thread split down to 2 strands
Needle: ball tipped needle
Other tools: darning disc and tie, scissors, fabric pen
Note: I tied a knot at the beginning of this repair which I don't normally do! But, I wove in the thread ends at the end of the repair as normal.

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...

How to use the Ebor Darner for visible mending
Invisible repair. I’d need a view from above to learn how to do the repair.
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 ☺️
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!🎉
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
最後の糸の始末の方法がわかりません 悲しい
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!
Can tell what needle are using for visible mending
This was a tapestry darning needle!
❤
Truly beautiful 😊🥰
Thank you!
my belt loop broke and i googled how to fix it. next thing you know i'm in love with the girl in this video, and i understand needle and thread better now than i ever have..
Very happy to hear this video was useful! :)
Love it. Just darned my first sock last week, and this method looks so much better with those end stitches.
That's so cool to hear! Hope you enjoyed the process - happy darning :)
Refreshing to find an English video amongst a surfeit of US ones! I couldn't work out why there are tail threads on both sides, maybe I missed something as the camera was aimed quite low so I often couldn't see the whole thing
So sorry about the video quality on this video, I had a very lo-fi set up back then! The tail threads all get pulled to the inside of the top at the end :)
This tuto is awsome too 😳 and I really understand the love for old summer tee shirts 😊😉
Thank you!
My attempts are certainly visible, but not in a cute aesthetic way 😂
Oh so beautiful! I lost my mom at eight yrs old. My fathers mother came to help him. He was welder in seattle. They had just bought the house. She would go get a bunch of his socks and was darning. I finally got too curious and asked what she was doing. I so loved her. I lost the art over the many years. I hope to play your vid tell It sticks. ..Thank you so much for posting, i will let you know.!
Thank you for sharing this with me ❤ I hope you find some joy in these stitches!
Thank you I just fixed the zipper to my favorite jeans that I haven’t worn in months!
Yay!
Terrible fabric pattern for teaching.
Why?
Beautiful and you were amazing! Thank you!!
Thanks so much Linda! :)
Wow! Such a simple & ingenious mending hack! Will definitely be trying this...& as always, Skye, what beautiful & stunning work. Many thanks for sharing ❤😊
I'm always so happy to see a message from you Michelle! Thanks for your kind words and I'm so glad you liked the video 🥰
I've done this loose (with the loops flapping in the wind) many times, but pinning them for floral foam will keep them from unraveling as I work... Great hack. I may remove the pin and then insert the needle, just because that what I'm used to and I'm afraid that I may split the yarn with the needle, if the loop is still pinned to the foam base. 💞🌞🌵😷
@@suzisaintjames I find the pins and foam so useful! ☺️
Beautiful work as always 👏 ❤️
Thanks Michelle! 😀
Thx, friend brought pants just now that I didn't dare to repair. Now I do.
Ah you're welcome, happy mending! I'd love to see how they turn out :)
I love this work, it's a satisfaction ❤😊
Thanks so much!
🙋🏼♀️🇦🇺
У нас тоже есть такая штука,,, давно лежит без дела
Hello, thanks so much for this really useful and clear video! One question - does this method stop the hole from getting bigger (by the stitches that go around the hole), or does it just cover it aesthetically? Thank you!
@@HelenFrancis-Graham you're welcome! Yes it does stop the hole growing - the tacking stitches create a barrier ☺️
So relaxing & therapeutic to watch & hear as well as see all the beautiful darns. Awesome work as always. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge, talent & skills; is very much appreciated 😊
Thanks so much Michelle! 🤗
I could honestly listen to a proper length video of these sounds. So relaxing 😊
Such a simple design and easy to do...❤
Thank you for sharing this technique, I like the way you broke it down so simply ❤. I can see using this for some other stretchy things I have too, like poly socks and shirts
Thanks so much, I'm so glad to hear that! Happy mending ☺
Great video. Thank you😊
Thanks so much! 😀
