A nice little venue hosts this once a month. People come with their clothes, help each other sew stuff, get a little cocktail. I thrifted this lovely cardigan 12+ years ago, and sadly 5 of 8 buttons had detached. I kept them for many years and tonight the piece was finally restored with some help from a pro-sewer (3 buttons) and my own efforts (2 buttons).

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.

dyed some clothes, sewed new buttons on others. I’m frequenting the the cobbler, I’m seeing a seamstress to turn dresses into skirts. I’m sewing up holes and not caring if it’s wonky. I’ve always been a knitter but seeing all of my clothes as a hobby feels like a continuation of that. Your wardrobe can be made exactly how you want it without buying anything new!
