Desi requested help to clean both of her Nahvalur (Narwhal) pens of old ink and put them back together. After some careful work you can see the pens are now clean and in working order. It was nice to work on modern pens!

Finished repairing my friend’s work pants, and am now working on a Speedweve mend on his hoodie. He said he wanted visible, so bright pink and green it is! 🩷💚

#VisibleMending #Speedweve #RepairDontReplace #NoWaste
Two fabric patches (fabric is red, gold, and black) that have been stitched in gold with the rice stitch on mustard coloured work pants to cover two small holes. A blue hoodie that has an in-progress Speedweve loom attached with a pink warp and green weft to cover a tear in the fabric.

Mended a friend’s pair of Dickie’s - a long vertical rip from mid-pocket down. I backed this with denim for a sturdy mend, and now these pants can get on with their second life.

#VisibleMending #RepairDontReplace #SlowStitching
A pair of mustard coloured Dickie’s work pants with a large vertical patch of fabric sewn onto the front of the thigh. The fabric is different shades of red with gold, and off-white squared with black rabbits in them. Fabric is sewn down with a series of straight stitches in pale gold running across the fabric.

Repaired yet another pair of socks - just strengthening the soles for more wear-and-tear.

More of the top stitching on this tea towel is coming up, so I stitched it down again with some rainbow sashiko thread.

Mended a shirt for a friend - turned the holes into little windows for a trash panda and a kitty to peek out from!

A plaid shirt with two small holes. The holes have been mended with printed fabric; top hole has a raccoon, bottom hole has a black cat.

Just admiring a sock repair I did a few days back. Swiss darning is a comfortable repair and it looks pretty cool, too!

I spiked my PS3 controller into the carpet playing the first God Of War game a few weeks ago. I thought I had broken one of the analog sticks, but I decided to open it up and see. I haven’t tested yet, but I think it may be fixed!

Got the bright idea to use my tap & die set to add new threads to the rear rod where it broke. Sadly, it’s a non-standard thread (8-36, not 8-32), so I’ve got to wait till an 8-36 tap & die set gets here tomorrow. Let’s hope it works. 🤓👨‍🔧

I've always tried to live by the #RepairDontReplace mantra, so I love this idea.

I recently replaced the analog sticks in my and my wife's Nintendo Switch joycons to correct the stick drift.

And took the time to do a shell swap while I was in there.

Not the tidiest repair ever, but it’s turned my favourite shorts from about to be thrown away, into wearable again! Now to do the left side.

The butt area is getting quite thin, too, so that also has to be done.

A pair of pale blue denim shorts sits flat on a dark wood laminated surface. We can see the right side of them. They are very pale and thin across the front thigh area from below the pocket to the hem, and they have a large tear across them closer to the cuff with loose threads hanging from it. A pair of pale blue denim shorts sits flat on a dark wood laminated surface. A vintage sugar bowl with a lid turned upside down that has a pin cushion built into the underside of the lid is sitting above them. We can see the right side of the shorts. They are very pale and thin across the front thigh area, and have a large tear across it that has been stitched down tightly . We can see slightly darker denim through the tear. I’m close observation, we can see many lines of triple stitch zig zag sewing machine stitches all across the front thigh area which holds the reinforcing denim in place behind the worn part. We can also see the inside leg of the shorts, and observe that both have large holes worn in them. The right inside leg shows slightly darker denim inside the hole where it’s been repaired, and the left leg shows the hole yet to be repaired.
