I loved the variety of techniques, and this definitely gave me a lot of ideas of other things I can try. I had never really thought about crocheting a patch, and I now have a pair of (hand knit) socks that I am fixing the heel on!
I loved with the patches how she did one that was more muted and one that was more flamboyant. I tend to wear holes in the inseam area of my jeans, and my preference there is to have repairs that are inobtrusive. That is my next project!

I am so appreciative of the clarity and simplicity of this mending class! It was easy to follow along with, especially in the darning portion of the video, and Cal was able to demonstrate ways of mending that opened a world of creative possibilities for me to try on my own clothes! I am already hard at work on darning my favorite pair of jeans so I can rewear them again! I love the visual-mending aspect of this class, where I can make my mends and patches as fun and quirky as I want to! Highly recommend!

There are many ways to patch and darn; though useful they are not my preferred way of working.

I really enjoyed this class. I was surprised to find out that patching can actually be used as a decorative feature. Iused the knowledge to fix a mesh plant tent. It doesn't matter that the lime green yarn is visible to me. I am hopeful that the squirrels will consider it a deterant.

I learned a lot, even coming from a seasoned sewist :)
