First attempt (not so visible)

[u/Snoufia]

Tried to learn visible mending to repair some of my nice cashmere jumpers. Ended up using a very similar coulour for this first attempt as I didn’t want to risk it. Used quite fine thread at the beginning but results was a bit odd with square pattern that I ended up using thicker thread and just freestyling. Very happy overall with the results. Got many more jumpers to go through ! Any tips on how to finish your threads at the end ?

Good job!

Looking good! I typically just backstitch and/or use a tailors knot. Ironing the spot can fuse things together as well - but only on fabrics that can stand to be ironed! I’ve never had my threads unravel.
