Mending and altering clothes
Mending and altering clothes can have a significant impact as a way of life. Although an understated way to enact change, this practice not only extends the lifespan of our garments but also contributes to reducing waste and promoting sustainability.
By repairing and modifying clothing items, to better suite one’s style and fit, individuals are able to minimize their environmental footprint by decreasing the amount of textile waste that ends up in landfills. Moreover, embracing a culture of mending and altering clothes encourages creativity and self-expression, as individuals are able to personalize their garments to reflect their unique style and preferences.
This simple yet powerful act fosters a sense of mindfulness and appreciation for the things we own, shifting our perspective from disposable fast fashion to long-lasting, cherished pieces.
