I bought these jeans secondhand and thought I'd just mend the holes, turns out the fabric was kind of weak so I ended up spending lots of hours stitching... I like how it turned out though...

Mended a lot of holes in this sweater, it looks like the moths held a dinner party in it...

I braided a new strap for this nightgown out of sashiko thread instead of buying some cord #LastSewistStanding #MendingMatters

A black cotton nightgown with a drawstring strap of braided grey sashiko thread on a grey wooden floor. Between the straps is the old worn out strap string.

Yesterday’s repair cafe an elderly lady brought a couple of items that it was a real privilege to mend. The lady had lost the dexterity to repair her things and brought me a knit fabric dressing gown that her cat had pulled a hole in, which had laddered from the elbow to the wrist and a dress that she’d beautifully made herself which she wanted ribbon sewn on to repair a worn cuffs.
