Visible Creative Mending to help you reduce textile waste! I teach regular mending workshops online and in person, have video tutorials and darning materials, and have published a book full of instructions!

https://www.collingwoodnorrisdesign.com/links
In September I ran my first in person, weekend long workshop and it was wonderful!
Relaxed learning, plenty of homemade cake, and we all left as friends.
Can’t wait to do more of of these weekends next year

So glad to see/find one of my favourite knitwear designers/mending extraordinaire here on Bluesky! She has an incredible book on mending knitwear and also sells the most adorable mini skeins of wool and cashmere specifically for mending!

A little neck repair for this lovely wool sweater! No need to replace something because of a small hole, when you can repair it and give it a new lease of life!

Happy International Repair Day!

This is one of my favourite repairs.

I’m spending the day teaching darning, which feels very appropriate!

Darning can be varied in so many ways just by changing colours!

This was a moth eaten cardigan that was gifted to me. I’ve been waiting for the right idea for it, and decided these beetles and butterflies were it!
Worked in fine merino for its shine

The second stage of making fingerless mitts: linking. This requires absolute precision and care

Dancing into the weekend in my much patched jeans! I started mending these in 2022 as far as I can work out, so they’ve had 3 extra years of life so far!

An underarm repair on an aging cashmere sweater! It still needs a bit more work, but the main damage has been fixed
