i tried my hand at mending a sweater for the first time today. there was a big ass hole in the elbow. it came out rough but also kind of cute.

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.

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.

it's helped me get through so many tasks i've dreaded or was too depressed or bogged down in the details to do. even just sitting in silence with another human working on their own thing is helpful. even if it's virtual! sometimes it's just hard to do stuff alone. and talking through stuff with someone who has more grace for me than i do can help get me out of my head
