Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.43,0:00:05.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There is a box, in the corner of my sewing\Nroom. It is a box whose contents have not
Dialogue: 0,0:00:05.09,0:00:07.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,seen the\Nlight of day for many a month. Many crafters
Dialogue: 0,0:00:07.83,0:00:11.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,will be familiar with this box,\Nin all of its forms: There’s the ever-growing
Dialogue: 0,0:00:11.94,0:00:15.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,amorphous lump\Nthat lies underneath your desk… The monster
Dialogue: 0,0:00:15.06,0:00:18.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,underneath your bed…\NThe stuff you vacuum-packed in a fit of organization
Dialogue: 0,0:00:18.73,0:00:22.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and stuffed into your garage in the hopes\Nthat you’d never have to deal with it again…
Dialogue: 0,0:00:22.05,0:00:25.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This, my friends, is the UNFINISHED SEWING\NPILE.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:25.96,0:00:39.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The item that I’m pulling out of the style\Npile box today is – oh man, look at this.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.16,0:00:43.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Why isn’t this box getting any emptier!!\NI have to stop adding stuff to it!
Dialogue: 0,0:00:43.59,0:00:47.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Anyway, I thrifted this incredible sweater\Nfor about $1 the other week – LOOK AT THE
Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.89,0:00:53.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,SLEEVES – but unfortunately it also had\Na bunch of holes in it, which is probably
Dialogue: 0,0:00:53.08,0:00:55.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,why it was at the thrift shop in the first\Nplace.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:55.00,0:00:58.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, today I’m going to show you how to mend\Nholes in knitted fabrics like this one.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.97,0:01:03.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, what I’m going to need is thread in\Na colour that matches the clothes I want to
Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.26,0:01:08.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,fix, a needle, and something kinda small and\Nround to lay the item over – like a water
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.89,0:01:14.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,bottle. This is like, the proper thing that\Nyou’re meant to use, called a darning egg.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.47,0:01:16.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But something shaped like this bottle works\Njust fine.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.99,0:01:21.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,First, I thread my needle with the thread,\Ndouble it over, and I tie a couple of knots
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.00,0:01:22.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the end.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:22.19,0:01:27.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then I turn the sweater inside out, and I\Nlay the hole-y part of the sweater down on top of the bottle.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.00,0:01:31.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,First thing that I’m\Ngoing to do is to hand-stitch all the way
Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.88,0:01:33.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,around the hole’s edges.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.58,0:01:37.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I do this by working my needle up and down\Nthrough the knitted stitches that are already
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.56,0:01:41.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there, which will help to make this mending\Npretty much invisible.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.64,0:01:52.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Once I'd sewn all the way around the hole,\Nnext I’m going to sew a kind of lattice
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.53,0:01:55.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,across the hole, gently pulling it closed\Nas I go.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.70,0:01:59.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So here's the first part where I’m going\Nacross the hole, weaving my needle up and
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.66,0:02:03.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,down through the knit like this.\NI pull the thread all the way through, and
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.66,0:02:06.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then I head back in the other direction.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.88,0:02:15.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I keep doing this until I’ve gone across
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.89,0:02:19.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the hole.\NThe hole is definitely getting less noticeable!
Dialogue: 0,0:02:19.24,0:02:23.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,To make the hole really disappear, I’m now\Ngoing to go up and down over the hole, like
Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.55,0:02:25.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this.\NSo, I go up,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.06,0:02:32.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then I go down... working
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.07,0:02:34.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,my way over where the hole used to be!
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.47,0:02:39.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When the hole is totally closed up, I tie\Na knot in the end of the thread, and I do
Dialogue: 0,0:02:39.22,0:02:43.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this by slipping my needle underneath a thread\Nat the back, pulling the thread through until
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.91,0:02:47.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there’s just a small loop left, like this,\Nand then I push my needle through the loop
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.100,0:02:52.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I pull the thread through to make a knot.\NI repeated this a couple of times just to
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.05,0:02:55.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,make the knot a little bit bigger, and then\NI cut off the rest of the thread.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:55.78,0:03:00.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And, the hole is closed! Flip the sweater\Naround to the right side, and you can hardly
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.06,0:03:02.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even tell that there was even a hole there.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.38,0:03:12.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I LOVE this sweater, and it’s big ol’\N70s style sleeves! I’m very excited to wear
Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.85,0:03:13.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it out and about.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.70,0:03:18.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,By the way, would you guys be interested in\Na “thrifted lookbook” of some sort? I’ve
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.21,0:03:21.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,had a bunch of amazing thrift hauls recently,\Nand I wouldn’t mind sharing them in the
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.65,0:03:26.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,form of an outfit video. I did a few outfit\Nlookbooks last year, and they’re really
Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.13,0:03:28.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,fun to make! So, let me know!
Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.08,0:03:31.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thanks for watching! I hope you all learned\Nsomething, and I’ll see you all in my next
