I hope this qualifies for the BB, I quite enjoy the idea of visible mending and this t-shirt had lots of pinholes (I think a tangle with a hook and eye fastening is to blame!). I decided to embrace my swarm of pinholes and turn them into bees, I also covered up the logo on the shirt with some flowers.

This is a cotton top and I only used cotton thread/yarn to repair it.

Little sparks from the fire, and now there's a hole in my pants. Two holes, actually. I've captured them in an embroidery device, matched a thread, threaded a needle, and now I'm ready for the mending. In and out, side to side, and when there's no more hole visible, I stitch a snowflake over the top to hide the plain old repair.

I've been meaning to repair this merino wool jumper for ages. I used some wool roving, which I quickly wet felted in hot soapy water then cold water. Pics show materials, then sewing up the hole, and using a piece of wet felted wool as a patch. I tried to do a blanket stitch round the edge to neaten it but not entirely happy with results.
