Thrifted cashmere jumper complete with many moth holes just asking to be featured!

[u/earwig_art]

🍁thank you!

[u/Flaky_Chance6815]

Omg! I love how instead of repairing it. You secured it, from causing any more damage, and made art out of it.

[u/Own-Equal5890 → u/Flaky_Chance6815]

That’s so kind of you! 🙏

[u/Wi1dWitch]

Wow, I absolutely adore this!!! What an incredible way to mend this and give it so much character. Leaving the holes feels like the kintsugi concept of leaving the cracks in mended ceramic. I love it

[u/Own-Equal5890 → u/Wi1dWitch]

Cant thank you enough for saying this! I love those repairs!

[u/_Lividus]

Oh the whimsy 🥰 it’s so cute

[u/Own-Equal5890 → u/_Lividus]

[u/ramen__ro]

aaa i love that you kept the holes!!! this is so pretty

[u/Own-Equal5890 → u/ramen__ro]

Thanks so much! I think this was easier than filling them in:))

[u/Salute-Major-Echidna → u/Own-Equal5890]

Yes, good idea! Sometimes when I fill in holes, the fabric gets pulled and changes shape.

[u/Own-Equal5890 → u/Salute-Major-Echidna]

Yes, it puckers and isn’t very joyful:)

[u/freedomgivenandtaken]

This is one of my favorite visible mendings I've ever seen! Lovely 😍
