Our first mends

Here are some images from our first mending session.

These are great headphones. Too bad Miss A's pet rabbit had been chewing on the cord. Well, tape can't really fix electrical problems so Miss A cut the wires before and after the break and then soldered them back together. Now it works like a charm.


I decided to try to fix a huge hole in an old sweater (you can see my fingers sticking out through it). I found a great illustration on how to mend this here.


You can't tell from the black an white photos, but the sweater is gray and I'm using a red yarn for fixing it. This makes the patch stand out. Show the world that you care about your stuff!








While I was busy with my sweater, Miss S got some broken jewelry out and did an amazing job of combining it into a new piece. This just shows that you don't have to fix it to be what it once was, you can use it for parts when creating something new.

The only thing we didn't manage to fix was the electric screwdriver with a glitch in a switch. We haven't given up on this though and we'll give it another try the next time.
