EDIT: hi craftzine readers! welcome! i promised another mending tutorial, didn't i! this is barely tutorial worthy, because it's SO easy. i thought everyone knew how to do this, but when i fixed a sweater of my little brother's, he and his girlfriend were AMAZED! it's funny how some things just seem like second nature to you because you can't remember not knowing it, but it's completely foreign to others. anyway! onto the tutorial! start with a sweater that's snagged, obviously! this sweater wasn't the best for photos, because it's so thin and see through, but it was the only i hadn't already fixed! now haul out your needle threader. i have a fancy clover one, because i'm obsessed with their sewing notions (really), but the cheapies work fine too! needle threaders can be bought at a craft store, or even at a dollar store, and they're often found in basic sewing kits if you can't find them individually to buy. from the inside of the sweater, poke the needle threader wire through the hole where the snag is. this is the tricky part! guide the threads of the sweater, the snag, into the little diamond wires. once they're in, gently pull the needle threader back to the inside of the sweater. you're done! if the snag really pulled your sweater, you might need to gently tug it a bit, just to get the fibers straightened out. there will still be a small hole on most sweaters, but trust me, no one will notice it except you! super simple, right? i told you! but wait! there's more tutorial! some people find getting the snag into the needle threader to be a bit of a hassle, and i'm definitely one of them. depending on the weight of your sweater, it can be pretty darn fussy! instead of a needle threader, you can also use dental floss threaders. i LOVE these, they're such a great invention. of course, i don't have braces, and i can floss using regular floss, but it's fabulous for crafty purposes! (i use them a lot to string beads on yarn for crocheting) again, start with a snag (aren't i lucky that my sweater had enough snags to do this twice?!) the floss threaders are easier to use because instead of trying to push the needle threader through from the inside, hoping you're in the right spot, you're going to push the hard end of the floss threader through the sweater from the outside. gently slide the end of the floss threader through right where the snag started. again, fiddle with the snag and push it into the opening of the floss threader. it's a still a little bit fiddly, but since the floss threader had a much bigger opening, it's less fiddly than the needle threader. done! again, you might need to gently tug the sweater fabric. can you see where the snag was? it's practically invisible!

Once upon a time there was a worm that hid underground. One day he had enough and decided to venture out and explore the world. He wriggled his way up and discovered that he couldn't break free - he would be forever stuck to the ground. It was very troubling. He couldn't lie down, but more importantly he couldn't find his way back home. He needed help..... Doesn't this sound like the strand of thread or yarn sticking out like a sore thumb on a knitted garment you have? OK, we may not have the weather to wear woollen knits in Singapore, but knits can also be made using very fine yarn or cotton. Here is one that I have. The snag is at the bottom of the garment and is pretty annoying! Golden Rule: don't cut the snag! Don't reach for the scissors! The moment you cut that snag, that area will unravel and then you will end up with a hole. Here come the saviours - the tapestry or embroidery needle and the needle threader. Yes, that's it, only two items!! This is an easy fix :-) Needle tips Remember to choose a suitable sized embroidery needle so that it can be inserted through the knitted loops easily. The needle has to be ball point as well! Before you start As some of the yarn / thread has been pulled out, you will notice that some of the fabric has scrunched up in that area. Try to flatten and loosen it out a little by stretching the area around the snag in all directions. Insert needle The needle needs to be inserted close to where the snag is and on the right side of the garment. Insert the snag through the eye of the needle. If you need help use the needle threader. Pull needle through to wrong side of garment Remove needle and insert through the loops of the knit. Insert snag through eye of needle and pull the needle through the loops. You are now done. It's almost invisible! This post is part of the Fix It Friday series! Joining us in the mending spirit is Andrea from 'Little Did You Know'. Pop over and see what she's been fixing.
