🧦the mending pile i keep bumping for something more urgent

an honest backlog. in the order i actually intend to do them, which is not the same as the order i will

01
green cardigan, elbow patch
next up for real. i already bought the patch fabric, that's basically a commitment
02
4 pairs of socks, heel holes
batching these so i only get the darning mindset once. keeps losing to laundry day
03
thrifted skirt, hem fell out
$4 skirt, 10 min fix, i have no excuse
04
tote bag handle, seam splitting
not even clothes but it's in the same basket at this point
05
coat lining, ripped seam
keeps losing its slot bc it's winter-only and it's not winter
06
wool hat, brim coming unstitched
07
jeans, knee basically an open window at this point
past patching, might just embrace the hole. undecided
08
wool sweater, moth holes near the collar
pia keeps offering to teach me swiss darning for this one, i keep saying next week
09
backpack strap, fraying at the buckle
recommended by tom, apparently it's a 20 min fix and i've had it queued for a month
10
flannel shirt, button popped off
11
denim jacket, torn pocket corner
recommended i tackle this one last, needs a technique i haven't learned yet
