Mending night

A nice little venue hosts this once a month. People come with their clothes, help each other sew stuff, get a little cocktail. I thrifted this lovely cardigan 12+ years ago, and sadly 5 of 8 buttons had detached. I kept them for many years and tonight the piece was finally restored with some help from a pro-sewer (3 buttons) and my own efforts (2 buttons).

mending workwear

I had gotten this american made LL Bean barn jacket after years of looking for one. it's blanket lined, so I love it for early spring and late winter gardening, but I have needed to mend it for a long time. this weekend I went to a very cute mending workshop with friends, and it gave me the confidence to give mending the cuff of this jacket a shot. it's definitely messy, but wow, I feel so good having some something I've been meaning to take care of for so long.

Darning Loom

I’ve been really into decorative mending this year and I’m trying to learn how to repair more of my clothes rather than buying replacements. My thusband got me a handheld darning loom. I’m going to get some thread and try patching up a shirt tomorrow.

Thai iced tea

I don’t drink caffeine because I can’t handle it but I make an exception for Thai iced tea. Gonna lose my mind shortly after this but it was worth it.

sewing plagiaristically

I want this matching set from free people but I don’t want to pay $80 for cheap synthetic fabric. Hope I don’t fuck it up!
