Kids’ odd socks are the unsung heroes of the mending world.

They’re the stretchiest things around, they’re usually made from tougher materials than other stretch garments, there is always one within reach, they’re usually brightly coloured or have an interesting pattern, they have finished/strong hems that make them perfect for instant pocket patches!

This shirt has been worn hard for six years now and it’s still a fav.

Fuzzy little silk embroidery experiment. I washed it rough to see how much it would felt and it’s not too bad. I like the soft texture and it’s fun to compare some of my early handspun to my more recent; I’m getting more consistent in gauge and much finer which works better for embroidery.

Realised this guy matched my mug when I went to take the picture 😆 subconscious inspiration?
