Creative Mending

 I went to put on one of my hand knitted jumpers and to my horror it had a hole in it, right in the front.  I realised the moths had been at it and it was too munched to darn.

Rather than throw it away or wear for gardening I decided to patch it!



I hunted for the left over wool and decided to knit a stripy patch to cover the hole.


Before I attached the patch I stabilised the hole from the back with some wool cloth stitched on the machine.



The patch was pressed and attached to the front to cover the hole with backstitch.



One new jumper with a creative repair!
