i'm learning how to restore and care for long-lasting materials such as wood and leather, and how to extend the life of clothing with basic sewing skills and visible mending. reddit and tiktok have lots of great tips!

I recently got this wooden handle looking thing to mend clothes and it works so well. I love using sparkly thread for all my mending. Adds a little pizazz.

She has some great resources on darning and she also hosts regular zoom workshops which are ideal.
Also, I get a lot of my mending ideas from Orsola de Castro - her book Loved Clothes Last is a good introduction to sustainable fashion practices and clothes mending.
I have been mending and DIY-ing my own clothes for a while now, it’s sooooo liberating and fun :)

after five years of grad school and subsequent job search, i can finally say i have successfully changed careers 😭 i start my new job counseling kids at a community mental health clinic on Monday. yesterday was my last shift at the grocery store that was an escape from my horrible corporate job and a sustaining force throughout grad school. it’s so bittersweet to leave the sweetest coworkers i’ve ever had and the most fun i’ve had at work. it’s immeasurably healing to quit a job for only good reasons. my coworkers got me a cake, everyone wrote notes in a card, and the goodbyes throughout the day made my heart swell. i even got to tell the good news to my favorite instacarter 🥺 after i clocked out for the last time, my friends joined me for gelato at the cafe and we strolled the store for a final time, this time as simply a loyal customer.
