Do it yourself Concept: The Patched and Mended Couch

Over the previous couple of years we have actually seen a (welcome) revival in mending: taking a needle and thread to socks, sweatshirts, and cooking area linens as required to assist them last (and prevent purchasing brand-new). It’s an old-fashioned service that’s returned, in part, as an inch-by-inch, stitch-by-stitch holdfast versus quick style and non reusable culture.

However patching isn’t simply for pockets. Simply among the numerous resourceful and diverse concepts we enjoy in a designer couple’s New York City townhouse we just recently profiled (see ” Ridiculous, Thrifty, and Not Too Severe”: Designers Maria Berman and Brad Horn in the house in Harlem): sofa cushions fixed with mismatched spots that just contribute to the beauty.

Have a look:

Maria emailed us with details: “The material was stopped, and it appeared inefficient to recuperate the whole sofa since of one cushion. I have actually accepted the art of fixing to develop these covered repair work. They’re ridiculous and not too major however likewise pleasant and thrifty”– and workable, we may include, for even a starting stitcher. All you require is a material scrap or 2.
