🪡zero to actually confident at hand-mending

read this first, not for technique but for permission to make mending look like mending. took me a weekend, mostly on the couch

do this on fabric you don't care about before touching a real garment. 20 min, don't skip it even if it feels dumb

first real project. mine is crooked and i still wear those jeans every week

the technique book. darning, patching, needle felting, step by step. slower read, about 3 weeks going one technique at a time

the tom of holland technique everyone on instagram is doing. mine looked bad for the first 3 socks

harder than denim bc the yarn is thinner and it shows every mistake. gave myself a whole sunday

skipped trying to make this perfect. visible mending is more forgiving and honestly more fun, that's the actual lesson of the whole season
