THE EVERYDAY MENDING JOURNAL

Worth
keeping.

A loose button. A favourite shirt. A repair you can begin with what you already have.

In the workbasket.

Start small. Make a sample.
Let the fabric lead.

Check the button, its position and the fabric underneath before choosing thread.

A gap along an old stitch line and a tear through cloth call for different questions.

A scrap gives you somewhere to test scale, color and handling without committing the finished piece.
