- A darning and patching kit with everything you need to give old clothes a new lease of life.
- £15.00
If you are a sewing novice, like me, the very idea of mending your clothes may well be overwhelming.
Introducing the perfect solution! A starter kit for you containing everything you need to repair a range of clothes; from jeans and jumpers to socks and coats. With this kit you can either sew, patch or darn clothes that are in need of TLC.
The kit comes with instructions, and video links (given below) to give you a helping hand. You can head along to @fastfashiontherapy for more tips, tricks and tutorials.
Give your favourite old clothes a new lease of life, reduce your consumption of 'new' things and fast fashion, and save pennies in the process.
Kit Contents:
This kit contains a selection of different sized needles and threads. The threads are in a variety of textures and colours so you can choose the best fit for your item of clothing.
There are a varied selection of fabrics - plain, denim, striped, checked - in a variety of colours, so that once again you can choose the fabric patch which best suits the clothing that you are mending.
1 chenille needle for darning
1 long cotton darner needle
2 sharp needles (for general sewing/mending)
(On a square of felt)
2 x wool mix darning yarns (the thicker thread)
2 x cotton embroidery yarns for either darning or Boro style patching (red and white)
1 x denim coloured polyester thread for mending jeans
(Fabrics & yarns will vary slightly with each pack)
2 instruction cards are included with reference to darning and patching videos made by our supplier Fast Fashion Therapy.
You will need to use your own sharp scissors, and for darning, a darning mushroom or equivalent which could be a lemon, end of a pestle (pestle & mortar), water bottle etc.
