There is a creative reuse trend to mend your clothes with decorative stitches, making the item stronger and also more beautiful. You can listen to my podcast episode about visible mending which originally aired October 2020 in this YouTube video:
Benefits of Visible Mending
- People get excited about learning new ways to repair their clothes.
- People reduce how much new clothes they buy.
- People experience the meditative aspects of stitching.
