update on some projects as I’ve been teaching myself to mend my socks and sweaters for some cool zombie flair. I once said that it doesn’t matter how messy it is because it’ll just look more fungal and it turns out, you do want to be a little precise with weaving under and over the warp threads so you don’t make odd straight lines.
thinking I’ll jazz up a boring mass-produced sweater my partner doesn’t wear anymore with some embroidery next!

extend the life of your clothes by covering holes or stains with embroidery floss and yarn while giving them new cool zombie flair! you don’t even have to be neat, the more imperfect the weave the more organic the result. the best mended garments are almost fungal, covered in sick multi-colored lichen.

i tried my hand at mending a sweater for the first time today. there was a big ass hole in the elbow. it came out rough but also kind of cute.

I’ve been really into decorative mending this year and I’m trying to learn how to repair more of my clothes rather than buying replacements. My thusband got me a handheld darning loom. I’m going to get some thread and try patching up a shirt tomorrow.

just compliment them! just tell them you love their outfit! just tell them their haircut is perfect and you can't find that on pinterest! tell them "i like you," so their brain can relax and they can just be. tell them when you're reminded of something they said or taught you. tell them "i was thinking about you!" and mean it.
...this is just the pep talk i needed

I beg of you get to the point. texting is not an instant messenger and I have not committed to a conversation / to being on my phone all day. you have no idea how this text finds me.
