Heather’s Jumper

Swiss darns over small holes where the base of the jumper joined the main knit.

A small hole in the toe, repaired with an internal darn so you get little flecks of yellow coming through.

A few mends on this gorgeous pink coat, repairing the armpits where the fabric had worn down with various shades of pink in areas, and then a green and pink woven pattern.

Some reinforcement on the knees of these climbing trousers where they were getting scuffed from rubbing against rocks. A pink sashiko thread was used to contrast nicely with the teal trouser material, and match the existing thread colour.

A patch over a ripped knee on these jeans, reinforced with red stitching over the top.

Using a parachute ranger’s stitch, the bottom of this backpack was repaired and reinforced with a range of colours that complimented the yellow of the bag.

Some colourful recycled aran wool was used to swiss darn some elbow holes on this beautiful Aran Jumper.

A darned area on the bottom of these Levi’s with reinforcement around so hopefully they won’t tear again any time soon!

A hole-y green number that needed some TLC. Using some autumnal greens, oranges and pinks these holes were darned and the cuffs were given a little turn-up as they were wearing thin.

A classic darn over some worn down cotton trousers with beautiful shades of green, using Laine St. Pierre threads.

Damaged after a misjudged slut drop, the tear in the back of this light denim dress was repaired and embellished with some contrasting yellow-golden embroidery thread.

Some big heel holes on these beautiful woollen socks from New Zealand need some serious TLC! I used a chunky wool to darn the heels and some darn navy wool to reinforce the toes.

A little hole in the front of this dark grey jumper was accentuated with a light blue darn.

These Lucy and Yak dungas got caught on a door handle (for a second time!). The original repair was unpicked and the whole area was reinforced with a panel of fabric that was sewn with a two-tone geometric pattern.

Some Swiss darning to fill in a couple of elbow holes, using a complimentary yellow to highlight the existing embellishments,

Another knee hole repair, this time with yellow sashiko style crosses to patch these dark blue jeans.
