[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the “learn to mend” advice is so often overlooked. I know it can’t help when a garment is actually worn out. But I have been mesmerized by the YouTube videos that show you how to mend holes in wool sweaters. My 20+ years old cardigans live on thanks to being able to mend them![/quote]

Those accounts are super fun, yes. But also fake. Most sweaters do not get holes in cute places where darning looks fun. They get shrunken, stretched out beyond repair, or they never fit well in the first place. Most pants don't get holes in cute places. At least for me, I wear out the thighs of my jeans first. There's no cute way to patch that.

I DO have a darning loom now, lol, and I have patched a few kid pants and shirts that are super cute. But I hardly think it's a solution and probably all the stuff I've bought for mending is more harmful in the end than whatever extra use I get out of those pants.

With all of these types of problems we should always be highly suspicious of any solutions involving buying anything, even darning looms. It's the reusable cotton tote of it all. [/quote]
