The Mending Habit: Keeping Good Clothes Longer With Needle And Thread
A loose button, a torn pocket, a seam that gave up on the third wear. Most people toss the garment. That is a habit worth breaking. Basic sewing is one of the quietest money-saving skills in a household. A needle, thread, and fifteen minutes can extend the life of clothes you already own and like. You do not need a machine, a class, or a talent for craft. You need three stitches, a little patience, and a place to keep your kit.
