I love the basket stitches she has used and I love the way the darns look like raining clouds and I love those pink patches on the outlier holes around the hems.

Celia Pym mended my vest
Last month I took the vest into the Victoria and Albert Museum in Kensington. Celia had put out a call for members of the public to bring in items for mending as part of an artwork. I thought the moths had eaten my vest very artfully and I wanted to frame their artwork.

That is some seriously gorgeous mending! How long will your vest be on display? re the fellow on the bus, not much we can say about the difficulty of being human! *sigh* xoxox

ReplyDeleteThanks Kim xxx
DeleteYour vest looks good - will you wear it? I have lots of mending to do as December has done its worst to a pair of fingerless gloves and two pairs of jeans [kneeling by the wood burner on a coir mat has taken its toll]...so I agree, it's hard being human.

Were the gloves fingerless before December? - Apparently January is the cruellest month xxx
