Wood glue used to fill a big crack in the wood of my blanket box. The hinge is split open.
DIY pliers as a clamp as I only had one.
Going to leave it for 24hrs to see what happens and then try to screw the hinge back on.

Determined to fix it!
Let you know how it goes.

And the finished work. I did enjoy doing this. There are lots of ways to use applique, but I'm guessing in my case it'll be for patching/mending. #crafts #uk #applique #upcycle #makedoandmend

The hole pattern on this sock kind of looks like a skull. I debated doing the mend in the shape of a skull but there are too many small holes and rubbing to justify not covering it all. #makedoandmend #darning #righttorepair

When the strap breaks on your Tevas in Viet Nam, you ask locals, who point you to the 'shoe guy' on the side of the road, who does such a sturdy glued *and* stitched repair that I reckon the repair might outlast the shoe. #MakeDoAndMend 👍

In an attempt to #MakeDoAndMend I've repaired (badly) Mr Bs favourite shirt. He bought it from the BHF charity shop yrs ago so the shirt is already on its 2nd life. I didn't inherit the sewing gene from my mother, who repaired everything, but it'll last him a bit longer before it goes in the rag bag

What do you think of my patch? Only my second attempt at paper piecing. I've got tons of cotton scraps I thrifted this summer and I found some paper piecing in them and my wheels got to spinning.

English seems more colloquial, but these #MakeDoAndMend, mechanical, extemporised solutions to the concept in your head, which doesn't really suit any of the words you already know, carry so much meaning yet remain mostly untranslateable.
That is truly why #AI is still quite shit.
