This was the first mending that I attempted with darning. I am using an old pair of sweatpants that I haven’t worn in a while because there were some preexisting holes in them. This hole was on the side right next to the pocket so it was a little bit hard to set up the darning with the pocket hanging over slightly. I used blue and black yarn to make the blue really pop while still looking somewhat cohesive with the fabric of the pants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was the second hole that I had on the pants. For this one, I used embroidery floss and meant to have a sort of abstract shape, but I’m not sure how I feel about it right now. I think that I may go back later and expand this shape with the blue. I liked using the embroidery floss more than the yarn because it is thinner and easier to pull through the thick fabric which made the darning as a whole look more delicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was the third hole that I experimented with. For this one, I just cut a slit in the fabric so it wasn’t as large of a hole to cover. I tried to experiment with decorative embroidery using a single color and made X’s around the slit. Then I went in and did horizontal warping across the slit. It ended up looking kind of like a zipper, then once I went through in the opposite direction, it looked kind of like a spine which gave me spooky halloween vibes :)) To finish off the decoration I did a running stitch just outside the slit and inside the X’s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is what the pants look like as a whole right now, the pocket mending is on the side so you can’t really see it in the image. Over the next few days, I think that I will try to make bigger darning patches for a nice visual effect and blend more bright colors in to give the pants more personality :))<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
