I call this a mending opportunity — some may call it damage or even a reason to throw out the jeans and buy a new pair.

Since the jeans were handmade by Precise Solutions LLC, we have some of the fabric leftover so I’m thinking about using that along with some red sashiko thread, referring to his excellent choice for topstitching. How would you repair this?

Mending Circle meets tomorrow, 4-5:30 at Heliotrope Brewery. Bring your project. Socialize, fix your garments/home textiles. Have a beverage, order dinner. Why not?!

I’m bringing some supplies to share/sell and maybe this old winter coat so it’ll be fixed before I need to wear it again. You can also bring a hand craft if you don’t have a mending project.

Mending = Joy
At some of the earliest Mending Circle meetings I worked on this top, solving the problem of loosely woven fabric wearing out by adding some fun visible mending.
Yesterday I wore it and felt so good!
Join us for mending circle from 4-5:30 this afternoon. We’ll have supplies and ideas to share and we’ll have a lot of fun!

Mending Circle meets tomorrow, April 20 from 4-5:30 pm.

Unsure where to start with a mending project? I like to say “safety in numbers.” You’ll be among friends old and new, getting radical and keeping our clothes in our wardrobes and out of the landfill. Hope to see you there!

We’re postponing our Chore Coat class. Stay tuned for new dates/help us choose the new ones.
