1
green cardigan, elbow patch
next up for real. i already bought the patch fabric, that's basically a commitment
2
4 pairs of socks, heel holes
batching these so i only get the darning mindset once. keeps losing to laundry day
3
thrifted skirt, hem fell out
$4 skirt, 10 min fix, i have no excuse
4
tote bag handle, seam splitting
not even clothes but it's in the same basket at this point
5
coat lining, ripped seam
keeps losing its slot bc it's winter-only and it's not winter
6
wool hat, brim coming unstitched
7
jeans, knee basically an open window at this point
past patching, might just embrace the hole. undecided
8
wool sweater, moth holes near the collar
pia keeps offering to teach me swiss darning for this one, i keep saying next week
9
backpack strap, fraying at the buckle
recommended by tom, apparently it's a 20 min fix and i've had it queued for a month
10
flannel shirt, button popped off
11
denim jacket, torn pocket corner
recommended i tackle this one last, needs a technique i haven't learned yet
