Day 49: Make do and mend
It’s Arts & Crafts day!
Today’s Activity: Repair something with visible mending.
Old pair of jeans wearing through? Favorite shirt get a hole in it? Patch them up and make them uniquely yours with sashiko, a decorative way to reinforce and repair fabric.
This Japanese practice dates back hundreds of years, and there are endless patterns to choose from, from simple crosses to elaborate embroidery. Seamwork has a nice intro tutorial.
