anna_lillith 🇺🇦🌱🐖🧵By <a href="https://mas.to/tags/mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mending</a> a cotton t-shirt instead of replacing it, you could help to save over 7.5kg in <a href="https://mas.to/tags/CO2e" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CO2e</a>. That would be equivalent to ironing for over 25 hours.The days of being told that <a href="https://mas.to/tags/repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repair</a> isn't an important part of a garment's life cycle are gone. I hope this will also lead to a change in the way that repair is perceived in our society; as a skilled and valuable <a href="https://mas.to/tags/craft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#craft</a> that deserves to be invested in and as a powerful environmental and political act.🪡🪡🪡

Sini TuuliaWhen you've mended the same threadbare but still serviceable thing so many times you need to do it colourful, for morale.

Steven HoeferAnyone have a guide on how to identify well-made clothes? I was taught long ago, but I've forgotten the specifics and would not describe it well.The reason I ask is that cheap clothes are usually much harder to mend. The allowances are small, there are no extra buttons, the materials barely hold a stitch, it all kind of wears out at once.Better made stuff has enough *there* there to put it back together.(Bernadette Banner's vid has been linked a number of times, thanks!)<a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sewing</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mending</a>

SteggySince I’m boycotting Amazon this week, I finally started tackling my mending pile. First up, socks. I’m a little embarrassed that I’ve reached the age of 50-something and I’ve never darned a sock before. Anyway, here it is, my first darned sock!I’m going to start using the hashtag <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/MendDontSpend" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MendDontSpend</a><a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mending</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/boycottusa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#boycottusa</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/amazon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amazon</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sewing</a>

eladnarraQuestion for more experienced/knowledgeable hand sewers — what's a good stitch for attaching a stretchy patch to a stretchy garment? I assume I need something with some elasticity, that can be worked around the edge of the patch.

0gust1I’ve just mended a well loved (and worn) merino alpine technical hoodie (holes and failing seams), with red sashiko thread and old wool socks (themselves with holes beyond repair).It took me some time to remember how to properly do the « blanket stitch » :) but it was the right choice (elasticity, edge management, aesthetics).Pretty pleased with the result, we’ll see how it holds!<a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mending</a> <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/visibleMending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#visibleMending</a> <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/sashiko" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sashiko</a>

Sarah E BourneThe fabric is also a giant patch. I sewed the ripped edges onto it. Not invisible, but not terribly ugly, either. I would definitely have handled the zipper differently if I were making it new, but I left most of the construction as 11 or 12 year old Sarah designed it. I'm satisfied!<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mending</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/handsewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handsewing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sewing</a>

Sarah E BourneBut alas, the fabric is giving out. The first step was to put a new piece of fabric behind the batik, just a tad smaller so it will take the mechanic stress instead of the more fragile batik. I took the opportunity to finish the seams, since I hadn't done that all those years ago.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mending</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/handsewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handsewing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sewing</a>

Sarah E BourneWhen I was about 11, I made this batik in art class. About a year later, I sewed it together with a bit of dark purple velvet and put a zipper at the end. Stuff an old bed pillow in it and it makes a perfect back cushion for my desk chair.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mending</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/handsewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handsewing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sewing</a>
