A place to share ideas, knowledge and creations with textiles. The focus is on reducing waste, whether that be sewing from the scraps left from other projects, using the end of rolls and remnants, or repairing and remaking finished pieces.
My first attempt doesn’t look as nice, since I was trying to sew down the last loops of the warp one at a time instead of taking them all off the hooks at once and then sewing them down.
I think this one turned out alright, though! I just used some variegated craft thread that looked about the same size as pearl thread, but was cheaper and came in a variety pack.
I'd never known this was a thing I could do! I'll have to look into this as I have a good few comfy warm socks that could use repairing!
I’d say just be sure to check out a video tutorial first if you’re not already pretty familiar with weaving, but it’s not hard to do at all!
That's very nicely done. You've inspired me to have a look at getting one of these little hand-sized mending looms :)
Thanks! If it helps your search, this was made with a 14 hook loom, which is a good size for mending small holes (~1”).
Yeah, that'd probably cover the majority. Brilliant, thank you :)
That looks really neat, well done !
Thanks!
