Episode 244: Mending is a radical act, with Jeanna and Mary

This week, we are taking a break from the I'm With The Brand series to talk about mending! Jeanna and Mary are here to talk about their new book, Stitch It, Don’t Ditch It: Simple Hand-sewn Repairs to Help You Love Your Clothes For Longer ( https://bookshop.org/p/books/stitch-it-don-t-ditch-it-simple-hand-sewn-repairs-to-help-you-love-your-clothes-for-longer-jeanna-wigger/d43a64d14dbc875c?ean=9781837833382&next=t ). In this episode, we will talk about the following: * How and why Jeanna and Mary ended up writing a book about mending together * Why it has become unusual to repair your clothing (and how we can change that) * Why we should make the time to mend our clothes (and p.s. It’s more than just the environmental impact of it all) * Why fast fashion clothes deserve repair, too * How to get started on your mending journey Also in this episode: attendees from the Crafternoon in Philadelphia tell us what's keeping them optimistic right now.
