Last time I wore this uniform shirt, some spots ripped through on the underneath of the sleeves (I guess that’s what happens after 3 years of almost constant wear haha) Since my other shirts are also close to this point, I decided to try and mend it with a patch - I had some white cotton lawn in my stash, so I’m having a go at some boro-style mending to give the shirt a bit of extra life Since it’s my work shirt, I’m using white thread for “less-than-visible” mending because I don’t think a visible mend would go down very well #MakeDoAndMend #HandSewing #Mending #VisibleMending #SewOnAPatch https://www.instagram.com/p/CibeGEFos9O/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I've already cleaned this bit a thousand times 🤥 (ok three times!) to get rid of the disintegrating drive belt. Thankfully a nice shiny new belt arrived in the post today ☺️ Still more work to do on the motor. #vintagebrothersewingmachine #sewingmachinerestoration #makedoandmend #vintagesewingmachine https://www.instagram.com/p/CgESPkcjuQZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

How will Paul and Virginia "make do"? Octagonal stoneware jug with a relief moulded design with Paul and Virginia, based upon the highly successful pastoral romance novel by the French writer Jacques-Henri Bernadin St Pierre originally published in 1788. The story is of the lives (and love affair), of two young people brought up in Mauritius. This pitcher features two different vignettes, one on each side, of Paul and Virginia in the midst of palm trees and various tropical plants and small waterfalls. The handle is shaped in the form of the stem of a palm tree. Some collectors may refer to this as drabware. The pitcher is 8 5/8 inches high, and approximately 5 3/4 inches. This pitcher has a hand incised 6 or 9 on the base. It's in excellent "make do" condition. This item was probably made during the early Victorian period around 1840.  Similarly themed jugs were made by TJ and J Mayer of Dale Hall Pottery Longport, also Charles Meigh, Ridgways, Dudson and other Staffordshire potteries in England made relief moulded stoneware jugs. #makedo #makedoandmend #makedopottery #victorianpottery #drabware #bisqueware @iowacityart (at Iowa City Art & Antiques) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdJt0IXuKc_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Some visible mending on my sports bra. Maybe I'll prettify it later, but for now I am just happy it's functional again.

Here we have an item on the “jobs I’ve been procrastinating” list - fixing the elastic in my work pants. I need to replace 2 little bits of elastic in 5 separate pairs of pants, and I have just been putting it off because it seemed so fiddly! Turns out - yes fiddly. No where near as difficult as I thought though. So we are one elastic down, 9 more bits to go!

This is my first attempt to mend a piece of knitting that got ripped (swipe for "before" picture). I used a contrasting yarn on purpose, so that the patch would be visible - reminiscent of Kintsugi (金継ぎ, "golden joinery"), a japanese technique of repairing (ceramic) pieces in a way that the break and repair is not hidden, but treated as part of the history of the piece. . I've written a short blog post about it: https://knitting-and-so-on.blogspot.com/2020/07/darn-it-or-kintsugi.html . #makedoandmend #mendingmayhem #mendingclothes #mending #mendingmatters #darnit #darning #visiblemending #clothingrepairs  #knitwear #kintsugi #slowfashion #reducewaste #knittersofinstagram #knitwear  #lovedclotheslast #makersofinstagram #clothingrepair #learnsomethingnew #flicken #reparierenstattwegwerfen #darningwoollens https://www.instagram.com/p/CDHUgmOJ87A/?igshid=155tj4vkvj1vn

Back when I bought this place in 2017 there was no light over my sink. IKEA came to the rescue then and I've just had this very basic bare bulb ever since. Not what I wanted but it served the purpose until something better could be found. Eventually I found this gorgeous fixture on Facebook marketplace, and bonus it was only $20. Anyone who has ever searched for just the right light fixture can tell you that they can be shockingly expensive. I've seen similar fixtures listed for upwards of $500. I KNOW! It's ridiculous right? Unfortunately it needed to be rewired but a little DIY never stood in my way. I don't know what the previous owner used it for but it was set up for a 500 watt bulb. I'm really hoping they used it outside for the sake of their retinas. Anyway... John rewired it for me and hung it up tonight and I am loving it. It fits my aesthetic perfectly and casts a softly diffused glow over my kitchen that seems to take it back in time about a hundred years or so. My home isn't 100 years old as much as I wish it was but you know what they say, fake it till you make it. Maybe someday I'll have a 100+ year old farmhouse, maybe I won't, but I can make what I have look the way I want it to. Do what you can with what you have available to you and once again thank you John. Happy Saturday my friends. Stay safe, stay well. #poverty_hill #homestead #homesteading #homesteaders #frugal #frugalliving #newtome #farmhousedecor #antiquelighting #giveitanewlife #diy #diyhomedecor #makedoandmend #myideaofbeautiful #myideaoffun #ruralpa #countryliving #simplelife #slowliving #myhappyplace #myhappylife (at Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIt2KrwgZKd/?igshid=126dvmhab0ky3

#isolationcreation day 8 ( I think, I mean days are just flowing into each other right now!). Spent several days working on finishing my #studio ready to move in and got creative with more #upcycling using #chalkboardpaint to revamp an old #shelvingunit that has lot of sentimental value as we bought it 16 years ago to use for a wardrobe for our eldest when she was born. Now it will have a new life in my #homestudio . #makedoandmend , #reducereuserecycle #glastonburyartist ,#gratitude . https://www.instagram.com/p/B-R6djCl1oX/?igshid=19opl4htmcbho
