how to: parachute stitch for sportswear
Hello, I hope you're all really well. It's time for an almost part two video for these leggings - and this time we're looking at the parachute stitch.
This technique can be used on tons of different fabrics, but I've found it especially great for stretch fabrics. I hope you enjoy the video, and as always would love to hear from you if you try this technique out.
Repair details
Item of clothing: sports leggings
Thread: cotton embroidery thread split down to 2 strands
Needle: ball tipped needle
Other tools: darning disc and tie, scissors, fabric pen
Note: I tied a knot at the beginning of this repair which I don't normally do! But, I wove in the thread ends at the end of the repair as normal.

As always thank you to everyone on Patreon who helps to support these videos! You can join me over there for ad free videos, behind the scenes repairs and all things textiles and mending. Sportswear and stretchy fabrics can be so fiddly to handle because of how much they move around as you work with them, but I've found that the right tools and very gentle sewing make all the difference. You mi...

I’m the proud owner of your book. Thank you so much for it! ❤
So happy to hear this, thank you! Happy mending 🥰
This is very helpful, thank you! I have mended several pairs off my own and my kids’ leggings, but I’m a far less stretchy or attractive way. So handy to have this, and the parachute stitch, in my “tool box” for future repairs :D
That's so great to hear, thank you! It's worked so well for me over the years :)
Lovely. Just added to my cart for future pay day
@@Justeenie oh thank you so much!! 🥰
I like your work
@@amritgunnu5845 thank you 🥰
Well done 👍
@@amritgunnu5845 thanks so much!
Thank you for sharing it's a shame the music is too loud though for people like me who are have hearing difficulties
Interesting video, but would have been more helpful if you'd started from scratch
I guess I'm "into" mending. Love these videos, I find them very relaxing and useful. Do you have any suggestions for what can be used if I don't have that wooden form? Thank you
Hi. I’m looking for something similar, but, that can be seen on both sides of the fabric. I have some holes (small 0.5mm to 1.5cm) in a double sided bed cover and I have look for circles like the ones you made and some stars, but, they only work on one side. Someone told me about a “spiderweb”, that would be the same on both sides, but, haven’t been able to find how to make it online. Do you have a video on something similar? Would be great if you do. Thank you
Amazing video me thinking I needed pliers and all sorts 🎉
What is the tool being used here?
Er ...a needle? Also pins & florist's foam 😊
Nice lesson! Now to "find" a piece of denim to use as a backing piece. I had some, but "someone" tossed them!
Instead of a thimble, I use a piece of heavy leather to push thr needle through. I suppose an old belt would work just as well.
This is beautiful, amazing work!
Thanks so much!
Invisible repair. I’d need a view from above to learn how to do the repair.
Apparently it's Swiss Darning and they're gonna do tutorials on it soon (saw a reply to another comment here).
I love slow stitching. I mend the g’kids’ clothes. My daughter bought me Visible Mending book which I haven’t delved into yet (I’m a mixed-media crafter, so lots of things to do!). That big knot at about 12:52 reminded me of the line in the movie Ever After, “how can one love a pebble in one’s shoe?” My mom used a light bulb as a darning mushroom; even with seven kids running around the house, she never broke one.
Love this! Just gotten into darning, but what do you do with the ends? Weave them in somehow? Tie knots and then weave in the ends? I imagine knots could be irritating in some spots, but I don’t really know what else to do
You can do either! I tend to weave in the ends to the fabric on the inside, but if it's a loose garment you can use knots too
Awesome video, very easy to follow along with my own project. Thank you!
@@sttar_pegasus that's so lovely to hear, thank you ☺️
This is genius. Thank you. It worked. I’m so happy.
What is this procedure called how can I learn this?
@@shannahsnyder5653 this is Swiss darning - I'll be sharing videos on how to do this soon ☺️
@slowstitchclub my hubby buys store bought socks and I don't think it is knitted, it is so tiny too what to do for these?
What do you have underneath to stick the pins into? And where do you find pins with long heads? 💕🌞🌵😷
@@suzisaintjames it's just a kitchen sponge! and these pins are standard sewing pins that I've moulded heads onto using Fix It's
@slowstitchclub believe it or not but we don't have anything like fixit on Amazon USA
Looking for videos on how to mend a woven blanket (twill weave that reverses periodically) without a speed weave ie for a hole in a blanket and one of the first ones looks promising!🎉
What about the loose (broken) ends of the original yarn? Doesn’t that have to be secured somehow to prevent further fraying?
Everyone on an airplane should be loaned one of these
最後の糸の始末の謎が解けました これを教えてくれたのは貴方だけです！ ありがとう
Anyone know what kind of marker pins are being used in this short ? 😊
Hi, these are called magic pins! :)
@@slowstitchclub Thank you 🙏😊
Lovely! Perhaps a silly question, but where do you find the exact match for the yarn? TY.
Not a silly Q at all! Luckily the brand for this piece supplied a small amount of yarn for me (always worth messaging them to ask!) but in some cases you can also harvest yarn from the side seams
To repair a garment, it has to be of repairable quality. Poor people buy poor quality, not to mention that the market is flooded with low quality anyway. We need to be reworking those garments more than repairing the better ones.
These days woollen jumpers etc are quite cheap. Anyway lots of gorgeous quality garments at Op shops, Thrift and Oxfam wanting a new life ❤
Thank you for sharing these info 👍 I wish a good repair day 😉
Where are you camping at? I love the sound of rain on campers and trailers while sipping hot coffee and shuttle tatting away.
Omg thank you i finally fixed my school bag LOL
That's great!
Facts 🤣
Most useful guide I found, and I had to look through a lot. Thank you very much!
So lovely to hear, thank you!
Love it ❤️
Sooo cute ❤️❤️❤️ Mending is definitely the future !
Thank you! It sure is :)
Stunning work & exquisite needlework as always. Many thanks for sharing 😊❤
Thanks so much for your lovely message as always Michelle, so glad you like it!
How many stitches per centimeter when doing a running stitch. I have difficulty getting 4 in consistently
What if the zip is damaged in middle somewhere....
Very cool
Congratulation 🎉🎉
Thank you!
Can tell what needle are using for visible mending
This was a tapestry darning needle!
❤
Truly beautiful 😊🥰
Thank you!
my belt loop broke and i googled how to fix it. next thing you know i'm in love with the girl in this video, and i understand needle and thread better now than i ever have..
Very happy to hear this video was useful! :)
Love it. Just darned my first sock last week, and this method looks so much better with those end stitches.
That's so cool to hear! Hope you enjoyed the process - happy darning :)
Refreshing to find an English video amongst a surfeit of US ones! I couldn't work out why there are tail threads on both sides, maybe I missed something as the camera was aimed quite low so I often couldn't see the whole thing
So sorry about the video quality on this video, I had a very lo-fi set up back then! The tail threads all get pulled to the inside of the top at the end :)
Thank you. I'll watch out for more of your videos!
This tuto is awsome too 😳 and I really understand the love for old summer tee shirts 😊😉
Thank you!
My attempts are certainly visible, but not in a cute aesthetic way 😂
Oh so beautiful! I lost my mom at eight yrs old. My fathers mother came to help him. He was welder in seattle. They had just bought the house. She would go get a bunch of his socks and was darning. I finally got too curious and asked what she was doing. I so loved her. I lost the art over the many years. I hope to play your vid tell It sticks. ..Thank you so much for posting, i will let you know.!
Thank you for sharing this with me ❤ I hope you find some joy in these stitches!
Thank you I just fixed the zipper to my favorite jeans that I haven’t worn in months!
Yay!
Terrible fabric pattern for teaching.
Why?
