#MayDayMending Fighting capitalism by mending this jacket rather than buying a new one (and, uh, repeatedly pricking my fingers with the needle because I'm bad at sewing, and posting about it because I need a break after, like, 10 stitches). #mending #mendingClothes

I #sew the ends of my hoodie sleeves. I don't know whether to see another line on the ends.

It's not too neat but i don't really care.

My hoodie is super old but I'm not gonna throw it cause it's got personality. The big green patch was done on a machine by my sister after I got myself caught on a part of a truck when I worked in a warehouse.

I try to take care of and invisibly and visibly mend my clothing so it would last in use as long as possible. This practice took a whole new step as I tonight started experimenting with how I could mend some regular cotton socks.

I have a pile of old, more or less worn down socks that have been waiting for me to try to figure out how they could be fixed. This first experiment is reinforcing a spot which does not yet have a hole with some sewing thread.

This is very time consuming but also kinda satisfying. But already now I'm learning that it would definitely be worth it to do it when there is just a smaller area in need of reinforcement.
