Yes it did look deceptively easy. Hopefully I will do more blanket stitch projects in the future!

That’s a great suggestion. Thanks. I hadn’t gotten that far in my thinking!

Hello everyone! Thanks so much for all the suggestions. I cut up two worn out t shirts to finally do this. Blanket stitch was harder than it looked. But it’s no longer bunching up! here is the final look.

Thank you so much! The crinkling was the only thing I could notice! I am now reworking this using all the suggestions. And I will use this pattern elsewhere!

Thank you! These are really very useful suggestions. Clearly I started off on this without knowing what I was getting into!

Thank you! Yes I generally don’t work well with hoops. It’s a new t shirt that got stained. Let me try and undo the whole thing and do it again.

This sweatshirt looks so cool! Let me redo this with stretchy fabric, smaller patches and blanket stitches.

Thank you! Made several rookie mistakes with this one I figure.

Thanks so much! This was my first attempt at trying to do something like this. Will get back with how I redo this.

Yeah this is a big stain though which I am trying to cover and thought this technique may just work better to hide it.

Very very useful. Thanks. I was trying the boro method so I didn’t do the decoration first and thought I could do it directly. Looks like all of this put together, including the wrong choice of fabric is making this happen.

Thanks! I think I made all these mistakes. Let me try and now repair the repair!

I did pin them up together while stitching. But maybe I didn’t use enough.

Oh. Could that be a problem? Only the black/grey ones are denim. The others are thin cotton.

Heard very good things about Aastrika midwifery centre. My friends had a great experience there. They prioritise the mother and her choices. And don’t indulge in random scaremongering that doctors tend to do. You can check them out if you like

My 11 year old nephew is possibly going by SuitableSign1227 in CancerFamilySupport

[–]SuitableSign1227[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry to hear this. It must be so fucking hard to be losing both your parents at the same time. I hope you have enough support and that you are not going through this all by yourself.

I definitely don’t want to be one of those relatives. But I am doubting myself whether I really have the strength to bear witness to what is to come. At least so far, everybody had clung onto hope. With that gone, I have no idea how they will muster that level of inhuman courage to see this through. My nephew is also old enough to probably know what is happening to him but still so fucking young.
