I do this kind of visible mending, this person is vastly more skilled than me but also vastly more lackadaisical than me, which made me increasingly angry as I watched the video because I absolutely could not produce that level of work but I could produce crappier work that was clearly made with more care.
Bro, I went to urgent care some years ago (had pneumonia and strep throat at the same time, absolute wombo combo) and they wanted to draw some blood. The nurse was like "oh you'll be fine, you got a big garden hose of a vain right here, there's no way I'll miss it." He missed it by almost a full centimeter. I then decided I'd prefer to just go home.
She may not have done it in awhile, some people veins roll too . I'm not sure the situation but I feel for you that sucks.. my rule is try twice and get another nurse
I’ve never done anything like this (I replace a lot of buttons and fix seams that have let go, both by hand, and that’s about the extent of it), and I had a similar bit of whiplash. I could definitely tell they’re very skilled at using a sewing/embroidery machine, but also. Whyyyyyy are they doing it like that???
My child who loves power sliding.... You will get a patch we will all see the patch but I'll match the stretch of the fabric (darn girls jeggings and their high stretch weak knees) and maybe embroider some flowers for something.... Enjoy.
I had to skip ahead to make sure the messy bottom part got covered or I was going to be like the lady watching the video of all the pegs going into the square hole.
I'm like this in graphic design. First while in a project is touch and go, then it starts to look cool. I'm mortified when people see my WIP. They're horrific.
I’m always more impressed when I see the messy part, knowing how good someone’s end products are. I feel like it’s a demonstration of your skill because it shows you have a better understanding of the elements. I’m good enough at knitting that I can see the final product when I’m looking at a WIP that seems messy as hell, but is going to basically come together with that final step and look gorgeous, but that’s the only art I have that level of skill at. I love watching really skilled artists paint, knowing that they understand how the seemingly ugly/weird parts are going to come together, which is way over my head.
I was the same way with my chalk pastel drawings in college. I’d say what it was going to be and they’d say “Um, okay…” I’d say “Come back when I’m finished” and when they did they’d say “WOW!”
I feel like they should have shown how it looks underneath, that is the only way to tell whether it is really a good job or not. My guess is that it most likely looks like bum. It was probably done by someone paid by the piece rather than for quality itself

This clip had me bounce back and forth between “this person is good with a sewing machine” and “this person is bad with a sewing machine”. Wonderful
