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!

Labors Of Love

Last year was the hottest year on record, so it's safe to say that Earth Day as we traditionally celebrate isn't working.

On today's show I suggest what I believe is the antidote to the climate crisis (and I'm willing to bet you won't be able to guess what it is!).

 

Here's a preview:

[3:45] The Big 5: We know what we should do environment-wise, so why aren't we doing it?

[7:15] Communal care is anti-capitalist, and that's really darn important

[16:30] Here's what research finds re: the relationship between collectivist culture and pro-environmental behaviors

[24:00] If the problem is disconnection, is the solution as simple as authentic reconnection?

[34:00] It's actually not hard at all to pivot from the conventional, negative feedback loop we find ourselves currently in

 

* A note from Stephanie: No Headlines Friday, and Tuesday's episode will be out next Wednesday!
