The second mending success

Our second mending workshop, two days ago, was a successful event indeed. Miss S had made semlor to the delight and joy of all participants. The image doesn't even begin to do justice to how good they tasted.

Just like the first time, we got a lot of things fixed.There was a new set of broken headphones, and some old ones that got a shrink tube fixup. The electric screw driver that eluded us on our last workshop finally got fixed. Miss S saved a pair of broken candle sconce from the waste bin.

    Every where you turned there was making and mending in progress. These stockings for instance, got a bunch of holes mended.

    On the other side of the table, a pair of worn shoes had a touch up with some leather paint; have a look at the before and after images below.

    In short, it was a marvelous mending evening and I had a great time!

      Oh, I almost forgot. One of the most money saving fixes of the evening was the repair of our digital camera (thanks Mr P). The optical zoom had gotten stuck and wouldn't retract when turning of the camera. A firm push however seem to have relocated its internal mechanisms.
