027: 5 Super Easy Clothing Repairs (No Sewing Machine Required!)

On this episode of the Sustainable Minimalists Podcast, I offer 5 easy clothing repairs you can do at home, no sewing machine required.

Ever scrutinize old photos + pick apart your outfits of decades past?

I do. 

My first thought: “Ugh what was I thinking wearing THAT?” 

My second thought: “Where’s that outfit now?”

*Spoiler Alert* : ALL your outfits of decades-past are SOMEwhere. (The landfill, probably.)

These days, we’re in the habit of tossing clothes at the first sign of wear + tear. That’s because timeless skills like mending + darning are thrown to the wayside in favor of convenience.

This episode changes that. 

Today I’m thrilled to highlight 5 mending tricks that go beyond sewing on a button. You don’t need a sewing machine, either!
