Mending Mayhem: Repairing a Wardrobe using Historical Techniques!

Have you ever put on a shirt after 2 washes to find a hole in it? Do you procrastinate your mending pile, or worse--toss things that need fixing and buy a new one, instead? You're not alone. Join me as I tackle my giant mending pile using historical techniques! We'll check each project off the list as we tackle them one by one in an effort to be more pragmatic and rational. Because there is no reason--NO REASON--you should throw something away because it needs to be mended, or chuck a t-shirt into a mending pile and leave it there for ten years because you can't be bothered to run it through your machine. Don't be like me 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Resources: Here are the videos related to the garments I fix in this video!
