I remember my Mum's 'mending pile' as a child. It was a cane basket overflowing with clothes needing anything from a button to a patch to a new hem. Urgent jobs were done quickly but that mending pile was a vortex. You'd sooner outgrow the garment than have it fixed. I understand why. It just wasn't a priority because there were too many other things to be done!
The zipper on this skirt broke last summer and I hadn't got around to mending it until a few weeks ago.
I unstitched around the old zipper, paying articulated attention to the seams so I could be certain that I inserted the new zipper exactly as the old had been.
Repairing a piece of clothing is a treat, adding a new outfit to your wardrobe.
