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!

Plastic, Plastic Everywhere

The plastic-drenched, disposable world we live in didn’t happen by accident. It was slowly, methodically built by Big Oil.

They’re doing everything in their power to get people to use as much plastic as possible, all so they can make money from every single molecule they extract from the ground. And right now, they’re pouring billions of dollars into plans to double, or even triple, plastic production by 2050.

This week, award-winning environmental journalist Beth Gardiner joins us to pull back the curtain on who’s behind all this plastic and why. We explore why production is skyrocketing despite consumer pushback, how the myth of recycling keeps us distracted, and why naming the real culprits is the first step toward true systemic change.
