Over the past few years, I’ve been trying to think about and engage more with maintenance and repair, especially when it comes to my clothes. In this post, I want to create a place to document some of these mends and repairs.

Some recent mends on my forever-repair jeans. These were done at still life.

I repaired two buttons that had broken on this jacket. I decided to go with a contrasting color for fun.

Hand repair on the elbow of one of my Dad's old flannels. The patch fabric was leftover from a previous project.

Classic bike & denim repair; these are on my favorite jeans, so I tried to maintain some semblance of neatness. The patch fabric was from the same denim, leftover from when the jeans were hemmed.

More elbow patch repairs on my Dad's old flannel. This is the flannel that most reminds me of him.

I got one of those little mending loom things to try out. This turned out pretty nice and satisfying.
