Thanks to Opalyn's help in troubleshooting my sewing machine, I was able to get my first BB in textiles done! This was just in time because the overalls that I wear nearly every day got themselves a hole somehow! I sewed a large piece of jean scrap into the knee pocket -- I'm not sure if I'm describing that well? Now my knee has three layers of canvas/jean material.
In this project, you will sew a patch onto one of the following:
- the knee of pants
To document completion of the BB, provide proof of the following as pics or video (< 2 min):
- Show your holey fabric, patch, thread, and needle or sewing machine
- Show your patch being sewn onto the fabric
- Show your completed patched fabric
- It doesn't have to be pretty but it does have to be functional. Finish the edges of the patch so it doesn't fray.
Clarifications:
- All textile badge bits require natural fabrics and threads, such as cotton, wool, silk, linen/flax, and nettle. Synthetic materials are not allowed, even if they are recycled or repurposed.

I'm pursuing SKIP to inherit property, check it out for yourself: SKIP book or maybe you're my Otis/Otessa match?
I love that Rocket Mass Heaters are Carbon-Nuetral. In Erica's and Ernies Art of Fire Presentation, Erica explains the chemistry of how that's possible!
I attended Helen's Garden Master Course in January 2022 and give the lectures 10/10 acorns! Fortunately for you, you can also see the Garden Master recordings but unfortunately you'll miss out on the fruit Helen brought to sample.
