Some of my favorite visible mends I've done thus far!!
The top row has a pair of jeans that wore out along the rear that I whip stitched to the pockets. I wanted to distract from the repair (on the left side of the pocket in the first picture), so I embroidered vines over the back pockets. It was a lot of lazy daisy stitches!! The second image in the top row is of some darns over holes in a comforter. Below the darns you can see where the inside was open; I sewed that up once I was finished. It was already ripped open when I started, which honestly helped the darning!
You may have already seen the middle row if you've seen my post about the overalls I fixed, but these were my favorite parts of that mend: the two holes on each leg, and the largest hole in the left breast pocket. I did a sort of sun and moon motif on the legs, with one using a blanket stitch outline, and the other just running stitched around the outside with more decorative details added on top. The chest pocket I had the most fun doing by experimenting with different types of flowers and stems. The cloth I used for the patch is also apparently an older Ralph Lauren pattern that's a little expensive?? I found it in a thrift shop!
The bottom row is a recent darn I did for my partner's shirt, which had a cigarette burn in the pocket (don't ask). It was difficult, but I darned both sides of the pocket without accidentally sewing the two together!! Then I added a tiny sprout on the front :) Neither of the darns on this post used a speedweve/hand loom, and I'm happy with how they came out!
I really want to do more mends for other people so I can make cute things for my friends, but we'll see what I can get up to......

when John tells Arthur his finger is bleeding and Arthur muses wryly, "Should have used our left hand," I'm going INSANE like it used to upset him so much that John "took" his left hand but now it's a) "ours" and b) a neat trick to avoid feeling pain I'M. !!!!!!! NO ONE is doing it like them (??????)

The threads on the outside look like a fireworks display!
The tension is better than the cream colored towel. I'm hopeful it'll come out of the wash after being fixed with only a little puckering.
Another day's worth of effort and I'll be done. Could be tomorrow; could be over the weekend. Depends on if I'm still crabby or not.
Sometimes I'll disappear for a bit because I'm not going to subject anyone to my bad mood. No one seems to mind this for which I'm grateful.
Not every mood is for public display. Some belong in a rocking chair with some cocoa.
