I’m grabbing every favourite piece of clothing I have around the house and mending it with a needle and thread

I’m not very good at it, but it’s not terribly hard to close up broken seams good enough for some use. It sure as heck beats buying a new pair of jeans for $70 just because I somehow destroy the crotch every year

I’m finding this to be really satisfying and relatively easy to do. Certainly I can develop better stitching technique and use better tools and material, but it’s easy enough to be good enough, or so it seems to me now

    What an awesome and practical skill! In a world where people throw out things with holes, you can give them new life.
