    Was able to get a pretty close match on the weft color of a pair of 634s using white cotton thread dyed with earl grey tea (thread below) - now i just need to figure if/how to repair

          @Mizmazzle I'm a novice at best so we are both in the same boat

          This particular type 3 is shorter than I'd prefer so if I can successfully rehab it will likely go to my wife or a friend

            My Scarpas have started detaching on both sides of the ball of the foot.

            Wow, that is annoying. Never happened to me. I've had the front of the sole come away from the toe on a couple of pairs. Think I used some Loctite stuff.....

                Hoping to get this guy finished up in the next day or 2 - it's a little over my head so lots of trial and error.
                Have the extra fabric secured and then drew a rough grid with dissolvable sticky paper....now lots of small stitches back and forth

                  Crossed the finish line.
                  Some parts are cleaner than others but it is now a stucturally stable jacket

                    @GraemeE well done… looks great. I’m guessing it’s a coin flip between “tedious” and “meditative”

                      You hit the nail on the head

                      Probably slightly more meditative since it's easy to space out and not think about anything else while you are doing it.

                      Edited…

                              @GraemeE hell yea dude. So cool to bring back a piece from the dead like that and give it new life. Bet you learned couple tricks along the way…or at least hopefully less thumb pokes as time went on.

                                @Mizmazzle definately feels satisfying to save it from near death.

                                My thumb however is quite sore.....

                                I think as I learn more I am going to have to invest in a few tools - finger protection is first on the list

                                      @GraemeE worked his magic on these two hoodies! Can’t wait to wear these more!

                                          These are going to take some serious blood, sweat and tears but I promised a friend I could keep them alive for her for at least a few more years
