Swiss darning can be used to repair holes so they look like the knitted fabric. This is an elbow repair of a 50year old wool sweater

Celebrating the hole rather than fixing it. This stops it becoming worse, and keeps it as a feature!

Bring out your holey socks and sweaters! #TheStitch the open works #creativemending at L'Arche #westnorwood 11am-2pm
Lots of damage can make for a really fun repair project! Just take it slowly and use colours you want to wear

🧵👕Hi, friends! So here is the #visiblemending on the tear/hole where the sleeve meets the back of the shirt. I’m pretty happy with it and I’ll be moving on to another area of the shirt that needs mending. Be well! #creativemending #mending #repairandwear #sewingproject
Les contaba el otro día sobre remendar la ropa, pues aquí les traigo para chicanear el arreglo que les hice a unos jeans esta semana. Fotos de parche por fuera y por dentro.

Holes can be turned into creative features, and add something new and exciting to your clothes, rather then meaning you have to get rid of them!
