Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I just have an overwhelming intense feeling of boredom all the sudden and I feel like I need something fun to do.

I’m really into visible mending these days, and I’ve been alternating between darning my endless pile of socks with holes in them and sewing patches onto my ripped pajama bottoms. I really enjoy picking out what color combinations I’m going to use next! I also like having a functional object after I’m done, and that I’ve extended the life of a piece instead of sending it to the dump.

I’m not particularly skilled at any of this and it’s easy to pick up and make a functional repair, even if it’s not perfect, as long as you take your time. You can do basically anything you want if you learn the running stitch, backstitch, whip stitch, and blanket stitch. And everyone probably already knows the running stitch: it’s just passing the needle up and down through fabric!
