Well done! We're glad we could help :)

What s simple, unshowy but very effective demonstration this is - in real-time, which lets the viewer see exactly how easy/difficult quick or slow they are likely to find the job. Authoritative without being bossy! Congratulations on teaching something genuinely useful in an approachable way.

This lady comes across so well. The perfect presenting style, engrossing but without showing off.

After Nanny passed my Grandad has always asked me for any sewing repairs, but I only have pretty basic skills and I've never darned anything before, this video was so helpful, you shouwed exactly how to do it real time and is just what I needed so thank you!! My Grandad will be grateful now I can fix the hole in his cardigan :D

Wow, never darned before and this video allowed me to breathe life into a 30 year old jumper riddled with holes. Beautifully and simply explained thank you

My mum taught me how to darn socks, add a patch to jeans, sew hems. My first lesson in sewing was junior school re-sewing a puppet in backstitch. I repaired a leather (cowhide) jacket which took me 3 hours, but it outlasted my mates leather jacket by at least 5 years, when his completely fell apart and he bought it years after me. The only things I haven't attempted are mending my De Marchi lycra cycle bib (not cheap) and holes in cotton t-shirts. Also add to that moth holes in cashmere or cashmere/wool mix cardigans/jumpers.

The darnings I've seen so far all had perfectly close weaves with no gaps in the thread. I've darned about 5 pieces of clothing so far (mostly socks), and though I try very hard to be close, I always have some gaps in my darn (it doesn't help that I only have access to sewing thread, which is thin). I thought I was doing it wrong. This video helped me show that it is fine to have small gaps in the darn - a darn doesn't need to be a perfect consistent block of thread. This is encouraging to me. Thank you for the video!

If it helps any more, all a visible darn says to me is that someone at least took the time, effort, love, and care to repair something. I think it's charming!

Thank you so much for this. I've been crocheting for years and made some much-loved toys for some young relatives a while ago, and I'm going to be able to fix them thanks to you! My family's fibre menagerie is grateful

omg the end music so groovy! Thanks for the demonstration. I always wear holes in the left elbow of my hoodies because I lean it on my chair and desk at work. I'm going to attempt repair on a few garments soon!

Best tutorial i've found so far. The only error in my patch was user error lol

Thankyou for your detailed instructions. I promised my five year old granddaughter I would repair some holes in some really warm leggings…and have never done this before…lol She will be so happy to get them back mended! Thanks again 👋🇨🇦

Reminds me of darning socks many years ago in the U.K. ❤

That's cool and useful skill. Thanks

Thank you *so* much for this tutorial - I have a gorgeous J!gsaw cardigan in charcoal wool that has two tiny holes I’ve been wanting to mend for months and always found other demonstration too intimidating- yours made it so simple, I’ve completed both in less than 30 minutes. Massive thanks, and a new subscription from me!

4:28 there the action starts! Do you think one could embroider on top of darned spots?

I've watched several "how to darn" videos & your video is the best! It was large enough to see the stitching & what I liked best is that it did not end up looking messy!! Is your website still up?? My system could not connect... if you're still up then I know the issue is on my end. Thank you for a great video!!

How bizarre. I just mended a cardigan of the exact same colour and weight with a very similar shade of pink. Did you secretly film me fixing it? 😂

Thank you. When darning cotton jersey would it be the same procedure?

Love all your videos

Not at all if you want a visible mend. If you want it invisible, then try to match it with the garment :)

I have a loosely knit sweater, perhaps a ladder stitch? In any case, it's much looser than the sweaters I see on these tutorials. Will this work satisfactorily on that kind of sweater?

what sort of thread should you use for darning?

I have a a polyester blend sweater that my dog chewed a hole in. I have never darned before, but would love to give it a try now thanks to your video. I have two questions.. do I trim the loose yarn around the hole before I begin? Can I use thread or is it best to use yarn to darn with? Thank you in advance :)

Me too, my dog chewed a hole in my fleece jacket pocket as it had treats in 🙈 I’m going to try this technique. Hope it works for you too 🙂

We would say not to trim if possible till the end of the darn, to avoid the loose threads unravelling further. Try to match the thickness of the thread to the sweater if you can - sometimes we use cotton threads on a fine wool sweater, but more often we use embroidery thread or wool yarn. Good luck! :)

Great tutorial! I'm new to the channel so i was confused about who Ellie was because she referred to herself in third person. I kept thinking we'd cut away to see Ellie sewing.vbut it was charming in the end!❤ I think I'll start doing that too. Lol

It's actually one person speaking and a different person sewing! That's mentioned in the credits at the very end - super easy to miss

For woven fabrics, do you make securing knots at the start and the end or is it also not required? Thanks for the video, very well explained.

@jolienvsndijk

3 жыл бұрын

it's not required if the ends are woven through enough of the fabric. (This doesn't apply if it's either a very loosely woven fabric or a very thin+smooth thread)

@clothesdoctor-thehomeofclo5425

We would never make securing knots at the start and the end of a darn as it causes puckering. It can be a bit tricky at the start but it's best to let the threads stay loose and then trim at the end. Good luck! :)

What is the best thread to use for mending? I tend to use sewing thread but it takes forever ....

Excellent video. Question though is does the mushroom/ egg have to be this shape? Can I use a square? Something flat?

I have a heavier thicker knit cardigan with decorative vertical ribbing - similar to Arran, what technique for holes in elbows? Tom

Muy bueno🌻🌹🌼🌻🌹🌼

Hi, when you do this technique do you have the wrong or right side of the piece of clothing facing towards you?

Ohh, the repair weaving doesn't have to be as tightly spaced as I'd originally thought

I have a ❓ How do you determine how much thread/yarn to use?
