#VisibleMending 2025 recap: I have fixed about 25 items for a total value of 700 euros. That's an average of 28 euros.
One item broke again: the zipper in a handbag.
There was some repurposing: dishcloths out of towels.
There were four adaptations rather than mends: making a very straight shirt fit a curvy body better, undoing two turtlenecks, and folding back extra long sleeves in a decorative way.
I'm especially proud of putting patches on a trolley, my sashiko jeans and my perseverance.
The crafting community in Mastodon is an inspiration and I would like to keep sharing my mending work, no matter how simple and modest.
