Hello Skatehivers and Needleworkers all over the world!!
As you may know, my brother is responsible for my Hive fever since he introduced me to this incredible platform!
A few days ago, my brother tried to make an ollie over 5 steps (I hope I am telling it right...!) and....
He didn't make it and he also tore down his pants!!! So, he made a call and he asked me if I am able to fix it somehow...
Well, I told yes, but...
I live in Naousa while he lives in Ioannina (250 km away)
While I am mending anything, since I started my artistic patchwork I kind of didlike mending.... Oups!
So, the first problem was solved easily because I was on vacation in Igoumenitsa, a town near Ioannina, and I paid a visit to my bro! He showed me the straight hole and insisted on me to make something plain and simple..!!
So, at first, I closed the hole with inner mending (secret stitching) and then I decided to make a grey line handstitching... But did I do it???
Well, as you can see, I changed my mind. I told him, that
- since you had a straight line of tearing and
- since you lost an amount of blood
- I will use the red thread for handstitching to remember your day and as a homage (Tribute) to skating as well
As you see, he totally agreed with that and I was more than happy that it wasn't just an other boring mending (second problem was solved too!)
And in order to preserve my Bro's Skills here is another video of the same trick where he succeeds it after all!!
That's all folks!! Keep skating or creating with needle and something good will be born :)
I am looking forward for your comments about needlework or skating (for the second Part will answer :)
