VISIBLE MENDING - binding on frayed pocket

- In this tutorial I show you two methods to fix the edge of a pocket. The first method is patching with fabric creating a bias trim. For the second method I used cotton embroidery floss and stitched around the edge with different colour thread. I liked how the cotton floss gave it a pop of colour. You can also try this method on your shirt cuff or on the ankle cuff of your jeans. Thank you for watching !

I love that you choose different methods for the repair. It gives the piece a rich artist vibe and history 😊 This would work so well on the cuffs of sleeves! THANK YOU for the guided tutorial ❤
Thanks Judi, happy you enjoyed it 😄🧡
I am so thankful that I have found your site with such marvelous ideas and techniques for mending.
This adds so much personality to already beloved garments. I am excited to do this.
Yes please give it a try😄
I love this! Giving clothes another chance in life helps in reducing global waste, better for the environment, for your wallet plus it's meditative for the mind I find. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 💖💖
Yes I totally agree😄👍🏼
I am not any good at sewing 😞 but will try the embroidery floss method on my jeans. 😊👍 Thank you for the demonstration! 😊

You’re welcome ☺️
Thanks Arounna, the binding made a frustratingly frayed back pocket happy and useful again.
that's wonderful to hear 😊
How could you not love this gem of a video. Nothing but education, succinct and sadly not enough of these made. Great work.
Thankyou !! So glad you are here at CZcams as I can turn on captions or transcript for hearing impaired.I have your books and have pre-ordered your latest here in UK.Thsnkd for sharing thread colours as that is always very helpful too.xx❤️🌺🎆
You’re very welcome ☺️ happy to see you here
Very useful💌 thank you for sharing your skill and knowledge 🌸🍃 God bless you
Such a beautiful result, I love both methods ! And thank you for the clear instructions. Your voice is very soothing ☺ Thank you for sharing 🙏
Really clearly and simply explained.
Brilliant. The cuff on my favourite sweatshirt is fraying, soI am going to use your embroidery thread method.🥰Thank you
You’re welcome 😊
What nice, neat, regular stitching!
This was great! I love the fabric patch and will be trying that this weekend! Thank you!
You’re welcome ☺️
Excellent! Thank you!
Thank you!
I love the effect alternating the colored floss. I am wondering what type of needle you use for denim? And to accommodate 6 strands of floss?
A no.3 embroidery needle would work fine for 6 strands and it will go through denim easily. I am also not going through a thick layer.
Excellent tutorial. I’ve started mending my hubby’s jeans but I always just “wing it” and it feels haphazard and kind of frustrating. I need to repair a few holes knees and ripped out crotch seams of his. Im going to watch all your videos to see if I can find any clues to help. Thank you🩵.
I need to mend a frayed shirt cuff and these look like they would also work for that purpose.
Thanks for a very nice video! I am considering the second technique for rehabilitating a favorite ski turtleneck with frayed edge. What sort of thread would you recommend? The fabric is 100% cotton, over what looks like a thin layer of soft polyester. The thread should be soft and not itchy since it will be resting directly on my neck. Thanks!
What a wonderful video. I have your Visible Mending book and it is great. My husband has an old woven shirt with button down collar and the bit, the folded portion, that rubs on the neck is worn. Is there anything I can do to save it?
hi Lynn Happy you like the video, I have done two collar mends on my reels
one where I remove the colour and flip it instagram.com/reel/Cg1wOl8vCta/
and the other where I patch it instagram.com/reel/Cj-m7NkOdl4/
hopefully they will be helpful ☺
Could you please share the numbers of the floss for colors? Love them!
I used DMC 3053,733,3817
When you’re mending with fabric, do you always double your thread?
I don’t always double it up but sewing thread is a bit thinner than sashiko so I tend to double it up to give the stitch more strength
Thank you! Visible mending seems to be pretty simple for the most part, (for those who have done any sewing), but it’s still nice to see the videos before starting. A good confidence builder before jumping in. It’s the little tips and tricks that make a better job. Appreciate your time! Thank you again!
You’re very welcome 😄
