Dinner break sewing featuring one of my favorite sewing hacks: a mason jar with a magnet stuck to the lid. Keeps pins, scraps, and thread ends contained in transit.

Hello! I’m Hed. Primarily a knitter and mender, I’ve been trying to branch into making my own clothes.

It really does make the switch less hard. Thank you so much again for organizing this!

Mending is so rewarding! I feel a lot of sadness when things start wearing out. Extending a garments life through mending is such a lovely way to honor it.

Thank you so much for including me!

A mend from 2020 is in need of remending. It is an absolute pleasure to see how this pair of jeans changes with wear and subsequent mending.
