Stain on your knitwear? Darning is a repair techn

Stain on your knitwear?

Darning is a repair technique usually used to repair holes in knitwear. But I think it’s great for stains as well.

I tried everything to get rid of the stain on this wool jumper, but it would not be moved. So, it’s now safely hidden behind a blue-green darn.

I love how repair brings out creativity - remember, there is no right or wrong way to repair your clothes.

Darning is not just for holes! It covers those permanent stains very nicely too 🪡

How often do you see hand stitching in your everyd

How often do you see hand stitching in your everyday life?

Unless you’re into textile crafts, it’s probably not very often.

It’s not uncommon for new students to worry that their stitches are uneven. Which, for any new skill you are trying to learn, is not surprising. Learning something new does take practice.

However, I also wonder how often people actually see hand stitching in person. Are they comparing their efforts to the stitches they see on their clothes, made by a sewing machine? The hand stitches we’re aiming for will never look like that.

And I’m glad.

That is the beauty of hand stitching. There are irregularities. They will not be sewing machine straight. That’s what adds your personal touch, unique to you, like your handwriting.

That’s where the beauty lies 🪡

Of course if you want to spend a lot of time practicing your stitches, they will become neater and more even with time. But is that necessary to become a competent repairer? No!

How about you? Are you judging your hand stitches too harshly?
