It is always good to look at different ways of living our lives, different ways of approaching the day to day, even if we feel unable to take on whole philosophies of life, they can still temper and flavour our lives for the better, and often that is all that is needed, to see a different approach, a different perspective, a different way.John Hopperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495250254811460833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5116918139901366777.post-59541682780161300402015-08-01T15:58:06.945+01:002015-08-01T15:58:06.945+01:00Last year I got very upset about the poor quality ...Last year I got very upset about the poor quality of store-bought garments and have vowed not to buy another garment for at least a year, perhaps more. I am mending, taking out darts to expand a too-small shirt, adding pockets to existing garments,<br />mending pants that are showing a few holes.<br /><br />So thank you for sharing Kirsty’s post about mending. Many others are practicing Boro quietly out in the world.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05760962047400983557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5116918139901366777.post-6584065318591597372015-07-30T23:32:02.896+01:002015-07-30T23:32:02.896+01:00Thanks for posting this blog post.

So to look at the layers of fabric and see all the different images was inspiring.295 Fifth Avenuehttp://www.295fifthavenue.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5116918139901366777.post-56535358004712784132015-07-30T18:03:43.267+01:002015-07-30T18:03:43.267+01:00Thanks for this article, I am now following her bl...Thanks for this article, I am now following her blog, I love Boro and do to a certain extent mend my own clothing but mainly wear cotton jersey which is a pain to hand stitch.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09300029654181323351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5116918139901366777.post-25955752520762843752015-07-29T18:52:15.912+01:002015-07-29T18:52:15.912+01:00i found a mended embroidered table runner, the car...i found a mended embroidered table runner, the care that was taken. maybe they removed a stain. i appreciate what it took. heck. i poorly mend some favorite clothes. + one day i will make a blanket of my paint stained jeans. i even mended my grandpa's old long john pants. probably from the 60's, but can't find the like anymore. or his old sweatshirts.pansypoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06164502315120164024noreply@blogger.com
