How to: visible mending using chain stitch for sportswear

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 might be more familiar with chain stitch as an embroidery technique, but it works surprisingly well used this way! I have a second repair technique that I also use which you'll see a snippet of at the end of this video - the parachute stitch - and fingers crossed that video will be easier to edit now that this one is done. 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
