Resources for Mending Clothes

We toss out over 80 pounds of textiles each year. These textiles are often made of plastic materials (polyester, nylon), made in unethical conditions, dyed with harsh dyes that often get put into the rivers, etc. Even a single cotton shirt releases carbon emissions and uses tons of water. 

So the best thing to prevent the unsustainable growth of the fashion industry is to make sure that your clothing lasts as long as possible. To do so, mending clothing is a must. So here are some resources to help you learn how to do various things, such as sewing a button, to tailoring clothes, or even upcycling old clothing into new styles. 

* How to sew on three different types of button

* How to hand sew on a patch on a torn pair of jeans

* How to sew up a hole in an old shirt

* How to sew a simple T-shirt

* How to upcycle old clothing into new clothing

* More upcycle and sewing techniques

* How to repair a damaged sock

* How to do an invisible stitch

* 3 different stitches to work with for different results

* How to make a T-shirt smaller so it fits you better

* How to make repairs to your shoes

These are just a few of the things that you can do in order to make sure that your clothing lasts for a long time. Nobody wants to keep buying new clothing, as it is expensive and wasteful. 

So making alterations to your clothing, or fixing small holes hen you see them can be hugely beneficial to your wallet, to garment workers, and to the environment in the long term.

Oh hey, do you know what time it is? It is highly specific resource time!

Today we have the Royal School of Needlework Stitch Bank! There are HUNDREDS of stitch types in the RSN Stitch Bank.

And more added regularly, let’s look at a recent addition

I picked the first one in the 25 recently added Elizabethan stitches, the Elizabethan French Stitch

The stitch bank provides written and photo tutorials as well as a video option to learn to do it yourself. There are examples of the stitch in use, resources, references, everything but a needle and thread!

I'm making and posting this now because a. if I don't at this moment, I'll chicken out and b. if the answer is yes, I need time to hype myself up.

I'm trying to work on getting a little more outside my comfort zone, and I've been interested in learning video editing for a while now, so...

Here's a link to the final Logan Dress post, if you want to compare what a post form would look like. (I'm not opposed to doing both a post and a video, this isn't an either or, but I didn't feel like adding that third option, sue me.)

If you're new here, I've used the poll feature on Tumblr to reach out to fellow fans of Sanders Sides and design a dress for the mysterious Orange side together.

What do you mean I’m a bit late for Janus’ big day? Of course not, how could you say such a thing! I definitely didn’t forget all about it in my absence and only get reminded in the incorrect quotes video live chat; that’s not like me at all ;]

Anyways I decided to dress our sassy snake in some different outfits I think he’d like. He seems like the type to get all dolled up on his birthday and it goes with Thomas posting pics in outfits inspired by the sides on their appreciation days!

getting kicked out of the country club 🎾 (📸: @jameslightner; 👕: @dpstyledme) it’s officially been TEN YEARS since Patton first made the scene as Dad Guy in my Vines. Ten years I’ve been with this character. I love him so much. So we created a fun look inspired by him. And I have him playing tennis… cause he would make a TEN-nis joke. Happy “Birthday”, Patton 🩵

If Roman had chosen "Stab stuff with your sword". They are BOTH very much enjoying this. I think it would be the one thing Remus and Roman specifically agree on is that stabbing things is VERY FUN.
