I love a visible mend. I like to show off how I repair my stuff.

Not visible to anyone but me, but I've been trying to darn my socks to keep my hands busy instead of doomscrolling, especially in front of my kids.

Check out Japanese visible mending as well.

Some of it looks better than the unrepaired original.
