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 :)

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 love basing my friendships around things I like to do, and having an allocated person to do that with, also having a process / routine that this thing happens around. Like a tiny religious procession of two.
E.g. : one friend is my coffee and a walk friend, another is a person I only exclusively hang out with to eat tacos once a month, a third friend to only go to cinema screenings with, another friend will join me for exercise classes and we usually get dinner afterwards.
I like this approach to friendship in general because it’s less pressure to have to come up with new things to do, and if you stagger time well then you always have things to do and people to see.
