Hello friends!
This series Make, Do + Mend is a play on words based on the utility clothing guidelines from the 1940s, during which time there were limited resources allocated to buying and making clothing to conserve materials for the war efforts. I have so much respect for the novelty and creativity which came out of such a difficult time!
During my creative journey I have gathered a lot of items in need of mending, as well as secondhand yarn, fabric and notions. I always pick them up secondhand when I see them because I want to make clothing in a sustainable way, and this is the best way to buy materials. However, my stash has gotten a little out of control in a way that no longer feels very sustainable to me, so the idea of this series was born!
