The strap of my dress snapped a few years ago and then in minutes I sewed it back on and felt a satisfaction so profound that it had to be Ancient and Just. If you don’t know how to mend it, someone does… COBBLERS are REAL!!!!! I’ve seen them with my eyes and they have re-birthed my shoes like Gods on Earth. Mass consumption has us addicted to buying and discarding but I highly recommend repairing your shit - relationships too! My uncle who doesn’t shut up once told me that “life is all about maintenance” (genius) so I forgave him for being the way that he is!

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.
