Q Days Project - Work Sweater Repair
Here is the sweater I wear when working. It’s been falling apart for years. I tried repairing it once before. But this time I took more care, using embroidery thread, which is like 5 threads intertwined, and bits of canvas for reinforcement.
Almost all the tools and materials came from Brooklyn General, whose staff was very enthusiastic and helpful.
The thinking behind the jagged-shaped felt patches was that, by disrupting the borders, we would avoid producing a bunch of lazy-looking ovals. Instead, we have patches that are bold and distinctive (in theory.)
Updated to add:
Apparently, there is a sort of movement arising from just this kind of thing. The handiwork produced by it looks much better than my own shaky efforts, though.
