Basket repair for the win! Keeping your processions in use longer to rebel against capitalism. I wound fabric and thread over the areas where bits had broken off. Simple and quick. #mending #careandrepair #anticapitalism

Mending madness today! Working on my husband's dress shirt which have holes along the arm seam from wear. I stitched a patch to the inside and stabilized the hole with some embroidery satin stitch. It's visible, but it'll do. #mending #makedoandmend

Duplicate Stitch/Swiss Darning a handknit wool sock for my husband. It's always nice to darn socks when the stitches have thinned, but have not broken through yet. It's so neat and tidy. #mending #careandrepair #makedoandmend

People are hungry for the new voice of the Democratic Party.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Let's normalize mending! Here is my fitted bed sheet with multiple patches where the fabric had torn with wear. Choose mending over throwing into landfill. #mending #careandrepair

Rebel from the oligarchs who want you to consume more and more. This cotton sweater's cuffs lost their stretch so I sewed in shirring elastic thread making it wearable again. We need to normalize mending and caring for our belongings giving them a long and useful life. #mending #careandrepair

My mother purchased this wicker laundry basket in the 1960s. Bits of wicker, and the handles have broken off over the years. I mended it by weaving strips of canvas fabric through the spokes. It's in daily use for my laundry. Tending to our processions is vital. #mending #anticapitalism

I believe mending is a form of rebellion. This basket was my grandmother's, who died in 1950 2 decades before I was born. I sewed the brim of the lid with indigo dyed cotton thread to fix the broken raffia & replaced the stained lining with some leftover scraps if quilters cotton. #mending

Mending a navy blue Maggie's Organic cotton sock with heavyweight cotton thread. It is an act of rebellion to keep our garments in regular use as long as possible. I also find this kind of work incredibly meditative and rewarding.

Sewed up this flower hair clip today. I'm really proud that all material used were plant dyed natural fibers. #indigo

The sun is shining so I don't need yellow, and instead am embracing my blue garments. Opie is my deaf, one eyed American bulldog. He'll show up here soon.

Needed a boost today so I decorated my hair with daisies.
