#fixitdontditchit

A great day with the Hobson Bay Council staff talking mending, swapping clothes and refilling detergents and soaps. What a great space. @hobsonsbaycc @arielpaintingsgallery #clothesswap #mending #visiblemending #fixitdontditchit #refill #refillstation #hobsonbay #altona #repairit #sustainablefashion #sustainableliving (at Hobsons Bay City Council) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co9NPZ8vETM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Mending Circle – Stitch It Don’t Ditch It This year we will be holding a Mending Circle showing how mending items is a great activity to undertake. The theme will be ’Stitch It, Don’t Ditch It’ following the success of events around the globe. We will have menders repairing their own items who are also happy to discuss mending with attendees and, if you bring items, to help show how to mend them. We aim to show people how easy mending is to do yourself rather than just mending things for you. So come along to our circle and to sit down and join in for either a chat or mend. If you would like to volunteer as a mender (no expertise required just a joy of mending!) please get in touch. The more the merrier!!

Here we have an item on the “jobs I’ve been procrastinating” list - fixing the elastic in my work pants. I need to replace 2 little bits of elastic in 5 separate pairs of pants, and I have just been putting it off because it seemed so fiddly! Turns out - yes fiddly. No where near as difficult as I thought though. So we are one elastic down, 9 more bits to go!
