i used to do it during quarantine and i wasnt really good at it but i picked it up again and its fun even if my stitches are ugly here’s a bag i fixed the hole in
spent the last couple of days making a tsuno bag & some pins (wip pic below) for my lover <3333 an immensely satisfying undertaking, and an excellent way to keep both hands busy. also super cheap if you can find the supplies at a thrift store!!!
fast fashion is a blight upon the planet!!!! i reckon that mending & making ur own stuff is one of the most ethical and sustainable things you can do. and it’s honestly so cheap compared to buying new stuff, particularly if you can find 2nd hand materials. & it also just feels very satisfying and nourishing!! & what an incredible outlet for self expression wow…. i made some ridiculous pants out of a bizarrely shaped pillow case i found in an op shop the other day, which i have worn so many times already, and i’m making my own curtains too……. very excited
