Great show – thank you for so many good ideas and tips! Another good source for mending and re-fashioning is Evelyn Wood (on YouTube and Instagram) – she’s such a mending enthusiast! #mondaymending
Yes, Evelyn is a great source for refashioning and mending! Thanks so much for this note, and for listening <3 🙂
Catching up on the podcast and this episode gave me the push I needed to buy Jennifer Lauren Handmade’s Ivy Pinafore pattern to make a scrappy denim version I’ve been envisioning. A step in the right direction towards my sustainable/slow fashion wardrobe! Thank you so much!
Love it! We are so happy to hear you were inspired by this episode 🙂 Happy sewing!
