Being able to sew your own clothes may not be the most accessible things (especially sustainably) but I will forever be an advocate for being able to MEND your own clothes

Even if it’s a kinda ugly whip stitch on the inside of your shirt or a ladder stitch to adjust the size of some jeans or a mismatching patch on the sole of your socks— literally anything that’ll make your clothes last longer, even if it just means they’ll last long enough for you to give it away to someone else

And then when it can no longer be mended, use it to mend other clothes

#rambles in tags #you don’t even have to know how to do fancy shit like darning even though it might be useful #anything to delay those clothes from hitting the landfill #also give clothes you don’t want to people you know or charity shops (or I guess thrift shops lol)#also preferably get them from there too but also buying new from small businesses too is good #this is my occasional ‘LEARN HOW TO FIX SHIT AND MAKE YOUR SHIT LAST LONGER’ rant #there is a learning curve and it’s still not the most accessible thing- especially for other physically disabled people #(especially if you don’t have the money for a sewing machine or any rental or free to use machines in your area)#and you’re definitely not a bad person if you can’t do this shit #but if you are able! do it! learn the basics!#tbh even if it just means using some heat and bond or fabric glue!#slow fashion #🪲
