Woyww
happy What's on your workdesk Wednesday. i missed last week as was busy but this week i am crafting!! well, sewing!!
my handbag needed mending, the magnetic clasp had worn through the fabric. so, thought I would have a go at mending it, no idea what I am doing but got to be worth a try as doesn't cost anything but time.
I thought to use some old faded jeans I cut up as the colour complements the green and stitched it round and added some z stitching to help edge it.
no idea if it will work but only took an hr of my time and was a nice distraction!

Been watching visible mending videos and I love this lady. https://socorrosociety.com/collections/sashiko-inspired-mending and the wash-away iron on patterns are very cool. Maybe a washable marker and you could draw your own? It's super decorative and fun. Love the bag - and yep, no harm in experimenting, nothing lost if it doesn't work and it was probably still fun to do!

Ooh thanks will check that out
DeleteA nice bit of mending there! It’s a win win, you still have your bag and had the joy of the process too. I’ll have a look at Mary Anne’s recommendation, always good to have new ideas!

Looks as if it's a good mend. I likes the shot of the fabric pinned on...thought it was a row of coloured buttons waiting to be added at first!
ReplyDeleteYou are so resourceful! Hope it continues to serve its purpose. Happy woyww Helen #2
ReplyDeleteSometimes there are simply other things that stop us doing the things we like, it happens to us all. I can understand you wanting to mend your bag, I'm just the same I hate it when something I love breaks down and just have to try and fix it. Wishing you a very happy woyww. Hugs Angela x9x
