#Sewing & #Mending friends, I have a #question for you.

I have a top sheet with a ~25cm vertical tear inside the body of the sheet (i.e., it's landlocked).

I want to mend it in a good enough way. I'm **not going to sew it**, make it look pretty, etc. I just want to not stick my foot through it in the night.

Current best option: duct tape (which is probably not ideal).

Is there a fast, easy way to make a non-sewing fix? Like a fabric tape or something? 1/n

Repairing Our Clothes 🧵

Thanks to the latest WRAP report (Feb 2025) we finally have some statistics about how choosing to #repair our #clothes and buying #SecondHand is having an impact.

A few key points >>>

🪡 #Repairing our clothes has been shown to displace the need for buying new items by 82%.

This shows that we’re placing value on the pieces already in our wardrobes, showing the #BigCompanies that we don’t want to keep replacing items,

Hey, mending people? I have these cotton knee socks that have a thinning bit under the heel that I'd rather darn before it becomes a hole, but am uncertain about what to use. I have a cat that eats yarn so ideally I'd use any and all of the cotton thread I have, but is there some trick to it?
Doubled up thread, double-double thread? I'd assume you'd just darn as normal, just smaller, but does anyone have direct experience?
