                How to Mend Your Own Clothes

                How to Mend Your Own Clothes

                Makerist > Topics > How To Mend Your Own Clothes


                We all know the modern fashion industry isn't sustainable. Aside from being a fun and fulfilling hobby, many sewists first become interested in making their own clothes because they want to opt out of the fast fashion cycle and be more mindful with their clothing. At Makerist we believe in making good quality clothes that last a lifetime, and a key part of that is proper maintenance of your clothes! With care and a little effort, you can breath new life into garments that were previously unusable for anything other than kitchen rags. Check out some of the excellent resources below to learn how to mend, adjust, and upcycle your clothes!
