Resources for Mending Clothes

We toss out over 80 pounds of textiles each year. These textiles are often made of plastic materials (polyester, nylon), made in unethical conditions, dyed with harsh dyes that often get put into the rivers, etc. Even a single cotton shirt releases carbon emissions and uses tons of water. 

So the best thing to prevent the unsustainable growth of the fashion industry is to make sure that your clothing lasts as long as possible. To do so, mending clothing is a must. So here are some resources to help you learn how to do various things, such as sewing a button, to tailoring clothes, or even upcycling old clothing into new styles. 

* How to sew on three different types of button

* How to hand sew on a patch on a torn pair of jeans

* How to sew up a hole in an old shirt

* How to sew a simple T-shirt

* How to upcycle old clothing into new clothing

* More upcycle and sewing techniques

* How to repair a damaged sock

* How to do an invisible stitch

* 3 different stitches to work with for different results

* How to make a T-shirt smaller so it fits you better

* How to make repairs to your shoes

These are just a few of the things that you can do in order to make sure that your clothing lasts for a long time. Nobody wants to keep buying new clothing, as it is expensive and wasteful. 

So making alterations to your clothing, or fixing small holes hen you see them can be hugely beneficial to your wallet, to garment workers, and to the environment in the long term.

It’s this time of the year again!

At the gate for my flight home from visiting friends and there's a woman here with a service Shiba Inu. No pics because he has a Do Not Disturb vest and taking pics of strangers is illegal but I need to stress how ON DUTY this animal is. Ears up. Eyes doing Lazer scans of everything. Examining everyone who passes within 10ft like a security guard. Ass planted on her feet. I have never seen a dog with such intense chivalric guardian energy before. He has tiny eyebrows and they are FURROWED with concentration.

Good news! I didn't figure out important news by the Destiel meme!

Bad news! I found out from the bugs bunny one!

I've been scrolling through your blog and couldn't help but notice all your posts have at last 200 notes. And yeah I guess it makes sense because your art is beautiful and all but I think you need to make a flop post already to y'know get the true tumblr experience

Oh no! I had no clue I was missing out on the true tumblr experience!

THIS will be MY flop post!

No art. No tags. Doomed from the start.

Behold the glory of a post with less than 200 notes!

Thank you for helping me get the FULL tumblr experience.

of to the shadow realm but they really just dont care??

love all the different variations on this type of trap there are

yeah no,pretty accurate

just realised that i associate people's profile photos with what they look like in my head. oops

52,8% of you are wasteful cowards

yeah yeah whatever, look at this beautiful drawing of my friend on the beach <3

the point of art is not to be great but to make it transparently obvious that there is something wrong with you

all I want is to be cunty but I'm too afraid. I'm in my twenties and I'm too afraid to serve

Just a little boy

cannibalism is hot when you gay, tryhard when you're straight, beautiful when you're hozier and very funny when you're aroace

Alastor being aroace makes his dynamic with Vox like 100% funnier. It's a villain rivalry, you immediately know people will look at these two and think "they crave each other carnally", except only one of them has the capacity for it. Which is the perfect set up for a ridiculous one-sided obsession, but then Alastor is shown to be acting way more unbothered by Vox than he actually is. Dude is walking the streets of Hell menacingly staring into cameras and doesn't even have the excuse of homosexuality. Both of these fuckers are goofy as hell.
