Equipped with sewing baskets and mending skills, they repair their garments in public and teach interested passers-by how to do the same."The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EdinburghStreetStitchers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EdinburghStreetStitchers</a>, as they call themselves, are part of a growing movement that is reclaiming the ancient art of mending. Historically, mending was done in private and in ways that concealed, rather than announced, the repair. Choosing instead to mend visibly—whether through the color of the stitching or by doing it in a public location—is a statement and a conversation starter, Reasons to be Cheerful says." 'You are clearly stating that you have kept this from a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/landfill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#landfill</a>,' says Kate Sekules, a mender who teaches fashion history at the Pratt Institute in New York City’s borough of Brooklyn, and is pursuing a PhD in the history and theory of mending. 'It’s also got the advantage of making everything you own unique and special. And when you’ve invested time and energy and thought and craft into your clothing, you value it so much more.'"Inspired by the global <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StreetStitching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StreetStitching</a> movement, the former pharmacist Mary Morton started the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Edinburgh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Edinburgh</a> group in 2022, three years after a discussion with her son sent her down a rabbit hole of research and learning about the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ClimateCrisis</a>. 'At the end of all of that, I was absolutely horrified. I thought, ‘What can I do about it?' she recalls."Volunteering at the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SHRUBCooperative" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SHRUBCooperative</a>, which is working to reduce waste in Edinburgh, she learned about the high carbon impact of textiles—producing a kilogram of fabric releases 23 kilograms of greenhouse gases on average. 'I’ve always done a bit of sewing, so I thought teaching people how to sew and repair their garments was something I could do to help,' says Morton. She started teaching sewing at the cooperative’s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ZeroWaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ZeroWaste</a> Hub, but quickly realized she was preaching to the choir. 'I wanted to do something to reach out to the broader community and make them aware of the situation,' she says."The term 'fast fashion' was coined by the New York Times in 1989 to describe Zara’s business model, which turned a designer’s idea into a garment available to consumers in only 15 days. Today’s ultra-fast fashion retailers have further accelerated the pace of production: <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Shein" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Shein</a>, for example, has created 52 micro-seasons per year and adds up to 10,000 items to its website each day. With plummeting prices and a rising throwaway culture, by 2014, people were buying 60 percent more clothes than at the turn of the millennium, and keeping them for only half as long."Today the fashion industry is responsible for 92 million metric tons of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TextileWaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TextileWaste</a> annually, and the dyeing and finishing of textiles causes 20 percent of industrial <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterPollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WaterPollution</a>. Due to energy-intensive production and long supply chains, the apparel industry is responsible for eight percent to 10 percent of global <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CarbonEmissions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CarbonEmissions</a>—more than aviation and shipping combined."The quiet, simple act of mending can go a long way toward reducing these impacts: According to research by the climate action NGO WRAP, 82 percent of repaired garments prevent the purchase of a new one, and extending the life of an item of clothing by only nine months reduces its carbon, water and waste footprint by a total of 20 percent to 30 percent." 'One of the other big benefits is to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NormalizeMending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NormalizeMending</a> again,' says Morton. For most of human history, textiles were time-consuming to produce and expensive to buy, so mending them was second nature, says Sekules. Repairs were often visible out of necessity, since matching thread to existing fabric was a costly and often impossible proposition. One of the oldest extant examples of visible mending is a 2,000-year-old Egyptian tunic in the Whitworth Geller’s collection in Manchester, England, though the practice is far older than that. Over millennia people across the world developed their own distinct techniques of darning, embroidery and appliqué, using colorful patches or designs to hide holes and stains. 'It was made to seem deliberate, because it was a shameful sign of poverty to look as if you’ve been mended,' says Sekules."As mending fell out of favor in Europe and the U.S. in the late 20th century, the skills associated with it were also lost over time. 'As far as we can tell it used to be passed down the maternal line since time immemorial,' says Sekules. 'Then we forgot about it—culturally, it was just no longer a skillset we needed.'"In recent years a growing opposition to fast fashion has coalesced under the umbrella of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SlowFashion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SlowFashion</a>, a movement championing quality over quantity and responsible use of resources. 'People are becoming more aware that the way we produce is harmful to people and the environment,' says Sam Bennett, maker, researcher and one-half of the duo behind Repair Shop, which takes mending commissions and offers online and in-person mending workshops. 'It’s a smaller, quieter form of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/activism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#activism</a> that I think is really exciting.'"The resurgence of mending coincided with early Instagram, with visible mending especially well-suited to such a visual medium, and menders like Celia Pym and Tom van Deijnen started to document their mends on the platform in 2014. 'Those posts and popularity then allowed for people to create public workshops, publish books and so on,' says Bennett, who is working on a timeline documenting how mending skills have been passed on over the past 300 years. Much of the skill-sharing has also moved to virtual spaces, which makes it accessible to anyone with an internet connection. But while they serve their purpose, online workshops don’t have quite the same magic, says Bennett: 'It really started with community and sitting side by side with someone. And I think that in the end, that is still the most successful way to learn.'<a href="https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/articles/stitch-don-rsquo-t-ditch-153005359.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/articles/stitch-don-rsquo-t-ditch-153005359.html</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SolarPunkSunday</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VisibleRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VisibleRepair</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VisibleMending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VisibleMending</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mending</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FiberArts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FiberArts</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Crafting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Crafting</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DIY</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MakeAndMend" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MakeAndMend</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RepairDontBuy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RepairDontBuy</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ResistFastFashion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ResistFastFashion</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BuildingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BuildingCommunity</a>

PapyrusBrigadeI repaired a cracked Rubbermaid laundry basket! I followed the instructions in the below link. For wood to reinforce the handles, I cut up an old hockey stick I had lying around. Lightweight and perfect diameter.I had a lot of paracord, so I also wove it around the sides, to reinforce and prevent more slats from breaking. I'm amazed at how sturdy it is now!

Sarah E BourneLast hole patched! The patch was from a favorite baseball cap of my spouse. The cap was worn out - pretty much just falling apart.

Sini TuuliaWell, I am now absolutely fed up with mending, and am ready to leave the rest for another day. This one big flower does please me, though. The patch is on the underside and I trimmed the worn through and torn top layer as a sort of reverse appliqué.<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mending</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/VisibleMending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VisibleMending</a>

Sini TuuliaWell, this is going to take roughly forever. The patches are all large enough that I'll want to cross them over with something, but also it's just a little bit of a hassle, and there's so much of it.

Sini TuuliaIn addition to Theseus' Skirt, I am in possession of Theseus' Shirt. It's this loose and mostly rectangular thrift shop white linen shirt I got ages ago, and have been wearing a lot all the time since it's very comfy, cute and crisp at the same time... And rather predictably the sleeves are now patch upon patch upon patch. The bodice part is miraculously still patch free, just threadbare and see-through! 😆 Anyway. Both sleeves have new tears, so guess I'm mending it again.<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mending</a>

jendeferIt's the 4th Monday of the month, and that means another cozy <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/crafting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#crafting</a> night. We had a small group tonight, but it was still nice.

Mre. Dartigen [maker mode]Does anyone have a good guide for a beginner on how to repair moth holes in wool Jersey? It's fairly thin, T-shirt weight (I think around 180gsm?). I don't have any matching wool yarn that fine, but I do have matching Rasant thread for both colours.I'd really like to do it as a fairly invisible or minimally visible repair, but I have no idea how to go about it. I do have some scraps of the fabrics I can use but I feel like patching will be very obvious. I've seen somewhere that you can sort of re-knit or re-continue the knit somehow, but I don't know how to do that or what the technique is.(Also, what's a cheap way to deter clothes moths that won't aggravate my allergies and doesn't have to be redone too often? I'm not sure I have much faith in cedar balls, and I'm not sure that mothballs will work for stuff that I have hanging on my open wardrobe/airer thing. EDIT: Also not sure if I should be treating or sanitising my fabric storage, drawers, etc with something to remove and deter any moths or larva already present.) <a href="https://aus.social/tags/mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mending</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/fibrearts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fibrearts</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sewing</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/fashion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fashion</a>

The yarn is a very sumptuous, plump feeling blue faced Leicester if I remember correctly, lovely to wear. Those blasted moths always go for the best fibres!
