This fabric book from the early 90s was caught in a folding chair. It looked like it would take a repair well. With my handy dandy threads I got to work.
First, a patch behind the fabric. It was from a pair of pants with dead elastic that I stole pockets from. The reindeer's head also got stitched up.
The torn fabric kept trying to shift on me, so next I added stitches to pull the sides together. With that settled, I started to fill in the torn light blue section. Some of the torn or weakened black areas got shored up and fixed as well.
Off the hoop and stitched closed again!
The booty gave me the biggest hassle, but I made that work. The sleigh was an absolute pain. I switched from a basic fill stitch to a sort of modified fishbone stitch? I feel like there's a better stitch name. I know how to do more embroidery than I know how to label. My mental note for this one is, the back and forth with the under+lap(opposite of overlap) in the middle.
The fur of his glove also gets a repair here. Basic fill stitches had that working like a well oiled hinge.
I did hand wash after fixing. The fabric brightened up and the remaining scuff marks came out. I'm very pleased with the results and so is the owner.
Happy Honda Days to you and yours!

From Nirvana's Cover of Terry Jack's
Seasons In The Sun
"I don't know all the words...."
I know this isn't the rarest track around, but it is one I really enjoy and I hope you all like it.
If you dive as deep as you can into Nirvana you will come across the strange and unexpected. Browsing the rarities of Nirvana is a rewarding experience for somebody who is looking for music with unpolished edges. Nirvana is one of the best bands for irregular music with an enormous catalog of demos and alternative versions of songs that I personally think are far better than some of their studio recordings. I will probably review every single one.
"Seasons In The Sun" is a classic hit song from the 70s by artist Terry Jacks and probably pioneered some of the later sounds of the 2010 indie scene. I say probably, there is no way for me to verify - no artist has declared this as a point of their inspiration. However, Nirvana gave us a very fun performance of the song. Listening to this track is insightful and also a close look, even, I would argue an intimate look of the space a band creates on their first take. This track really makes me want to grab two others and record something out of the air. The lore surrounding this performance according to YouTube comments is that they all switched instruments and played the song for fun. There are a couple uploads of this song on YouTube and one of the uploads shows a video of Kurt on drums. If it is true that this only exists cause they were goofing, I am glad one of them hit record on the tape deck. Audibly the song is fun, I wouldn't expect a polished performance - you get alot out of it by listening to Kurt sing a song that isn't his and the band creating a kind of indie soundscape. Imagine if Nirvana made 2010s indie - I suppose.
I have included the original song because it's very interesting to hear the original and then go right to Nirvana's performance. You can decide which version you prefer and ask yourself what matters in a song. Does it need to be sonically perfect? I think putting these side by side can show you that tracks with unpolished edges are just more fun to listen to at times.

Mind the tags, and if you’re underage, don’t bother clicking. It may not have earned a USA movie rating above an R yet, but it will eventually get there.
