Well just learned yesterday what visible mending was when looking for ideas on patching up my my favorite sweatshirt and was inspired seeing all the work on this community. Spent couple of hours on this, prob my greatest focus block moment in recent times, felt like a meditation and a half. Hopefully this stays gonna work more on this.

Looks great! What is this technique called? I have some hoodies with cuffs that need this treatment but I have no idea where to start.

it seems i did a bit of blanket stitching at first to get them to the ripped ends together, then went over under while keeping each string tightly aligned next to each other.
