Osana vintage-kapselivaatekaappiprojektia p\u00e4\u00e4tin tehd\u00e4 ryhtiliikkeen tuolla korjausosastolla. Korjausosastolla tarkoitan sit\u00e4 alati kasvavaa korjattavien vaatteiden pinoa, joka ompelutilaani nyky\u00e4\u00e4n hallitsee. Ompeluhuoneeni on nimitt\u00e4in aivan k\u00e4sitt\u00e4m\u00e4tt\u00f6m\u00e4ss\u00e4 kaaoksen tilassa ja siihen asiaan on tultava muutos. Niinp\u00e4 p\u00e4\u00e4tin haastaa itseni korjaamaan v\u00e4hint\u00e4\u00e4n yhden vaatteen joka viikko. Mit\u00e4 luulette, pit\u00e4\u00e4k\u00f6 haaste jos postaan tuloksista blogiin? Toivon ainakin niin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Korjauspinossa on ihan kaikenlaista reik\u00e4isist\u00e4 villavaatteista liian pieneksi k\u00e4yneisiin tai vuorin korjausta odottaviin tai tuunauksen valmistumista odottaviin. Saattaapa siell\u00e4 olla keskener\u00e4isi\u00e4 muitakin ompelut\u00f6it\u00e4. Osa on ollut jonossa jo niin pitk\u00e4\u00e4n ett\u00e4 aika on ajanut niist\u00e4 ohi. Osa on ehtinyt odottaa vain viikon tai pari. Ajatelkaas, jos saisin korjattua edes sen yhden vaatteen per viikko, niin ensi vuonna t\u00e4h\u00e4n aikaan mulla olisi 52 ehj\u00e4\u00e4 korjattua vaatetta. Toki ne eiv\u00e4t kaikki olisi minulle, sill\u00e4 pinossa on my\u00f6s is\u00e4nn\u00e4n vaatteita. Ja sellaisesta my\u00f6s aloitin t\u00e4m\u00e4n haasteeni. Korjasin nimitt\u00e4in is\u00e4nn\u00e4n revenneet farkut ja neulepuseron. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Farkkuja olen korjannut paljon, etenkin viel\u00e4 silloin kun itse k\u00e4ytin farkkuja. Niit\u00e4 tuli paikattua niin paljon ett\u00e4 is\u00e4ni alkoi jo vitsailla ett\u00e4 niiss\u00e4 on enemm\u00e4n paikkoja kuin ehj\u00e4\u00e4, eik\u00e4 se kyll\u00e4 kovin kaukana ollut totuudesta. Farkkujen paikkauksessa korvasin siksakin suoralla tikill\u00e4 jo parikymment\u00e4 vuotta sitten. Se maastoutui kuluneeseen farkkupintaan erinomaisesti, etenkin jos k\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4 ompelulankana siniharmaata. Neulepuserosta paikkasin muutaman pienemm\u00e4n rei\u00e4n ja ompelin ohueksi hiutuneisiin kyyn\u00e4rp\u00e4ihin paikat sashiko boro-tekniikalla. Yleens\u00e4 sashiko-pistot ommellaan viivottimen tarkkaan s\u00e4ntilliseen kuvioon, mutta itse pid\u00e4n my\u00f6s t\u00e4llaisesta ep\u00e4s\u00e4\u00e4nn\u00f6llisemm\u00e4st\u00e4, k\u00e4sivaralta ommellusta kuviosta. Pid\u00e4n erityisesti liukuv\u00e4rj\u00e4tyn helmilangan luomasta efektist\u00e4 pistoissa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

T\u00e4ss\u00e4 kuussa t\u00e4ytyisi korjata viel\u00e4 ainakin kaksi vaatetta. Katsotaan kes\u00e4kuussa miten k\u00e4vi ja sainko mit\u00e4\u00e4n muuta paikattua. Vai haukkasinko liian ison palan ja homma lev\u00e4hti k\u00e4siin heti alussa. <\/p>\n\n\n

As part of a vintage capsule wardrobe project, I decided to do push myself a bit on the mending department. By the mending department, I mean the ever-growing pile of mending clothes that currently piles up in my sewing space. M sewing room is in a state of unimaginable chaos and that needs to change. So I decided to challenge myself to mend at least one garment every week. What do you think, will the challenge hold if I post the results on the blog? I hope so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mending pile has everything from wool clothes with holes to garments that are too small or waiting for a lining to be repaired or a revamp to be completed. There may be other unfinished sewing work in there too. Some have been in the queue for so long that time has passed them by. Some have only waited a week or two. Just think, if I could get even one garment mended per week, by this time next year I would have 52 garments repaired. Of course, they wouldn’t all be for me, because there are also some of hubby’s clothes in the pile. And that’s also where I started this challenge. I repaired hubby’s torn jeans and sweater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve mended a lot of jeans, especially back when I was still wearing them myself. So much of them were mended that my dad started joking that they had more patches in them than good fabric, which wasn’t far from the truth. I swapped the zigzag with straight stitches about twenty years ago. It camouflages itself into worn denim surface perfectly, especially if you use a blue-grey thread for the stitching. I patched a few smaller holes in the sweater and mended the wornout elbows with sashiko boro style. Usually sashiko stitches are sewn in the very precise straight lines, but I personally like this kind of more irregular, free-hand pattern too. I particularly like the ombre effect on the thread in the stitches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So this month I still have atleast two garments to mend. Let’s see in June how did I do and did I manage to mend anything else. Or did I take too large of a bite and failed miserably before it properly even started.<\/p>\n\n\n

Vertical straight stitches camouflage really well on the threads of the jeans fabric, when you use bluish gray threads. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n
