We’re re-stocked at ACME JUNK Co.! Just added: Christmas decor and tchotchkes, vintage office supplies, tons of cute kitchenware, and a whole bunch of smalls and crafty bits.
*Very* visible (and imperfect) mending detail on a super comfy, oversized linen sweater that was found neatly folded atop a garbage can earlier this summer. Found pieces are great to practice or experiment on — since the investment is minimal there’s no pressure to be perfect. I used the thread I had on hand (thick and wavy and not matching the fabric in any way, shape, or form), and along the way messed up some so that the fabric pulled in a couple different directions. Am I beating myself up over it, though? Heck, no! Now that the hole has been patched, this sweater will keep me warmer, longer, and that’s a win in my book.
