RE: The Forever Skirt

in NeedleWorkMonday3 years ago

I also have a lot clothes for centuries (OMG I am old) but they are mostly with some kind of elastic, jersey or knit. The garments which are more fitted... most of them I have altered so many times, they do not fit really well any longer :-D
So, I feel you on the sweeter. Often the garments are connected with memories and feelings, which one wont miss.
Its so great you are skilled in mending. (My mending is -ahem- inventive) DO you already know what to do with the elbow?`Will you sew a patch over it or will you try to repair the knitting?
ANd with my face... the funny thing (for others) is I don't stage such photos, I also look like this in real life (often not always, I can be serious too)... Its perhaps funny for friends, but in work context its not so good 😱

Sort:  

My mending is inventive, too, lol. I think I will try and stitch up the elbow with embroidery floss first, and if that still feels unstable, I might put a patch on the inside. We shall see how it goes!
And don't worry ...I am consummately "unprofessional." Work Professionalism is overrated, anyway. Be yourself! :)

Ohhhhh embroidery my love and nemesis. Looking forward how you will tackle this (In my mind I see you embroidering, then sewing, then sculpting and then there is a doll on your sweater‘s elbow 😁🥰)
