Why don't we ever talk about mending?
And how am I ever going to get all this mending done?

MENDING???? What's that???? Who mends anymore??? What would you be mending at the B & B?
OR are you talking about your own personal clothing etc.
Most people just go out and buy new? Heck if I have a button come off a shirt these days...my tendency is to toss it.....but I don't...I actually do find a needle and thread and sew it back on....but it might take a few weeks![]()
I am dubious anyone under age 30 even knows what mending is let alone how to do it :-(.

I've had my own sewing machine since I was a teenager (had to share before that) and make some of my own clothing, upholstery, linens, etc. Sometimes I even re-use fabric from clothes I've outgrown or gotten sick of. Mending's not nearly as fun, and I have an accumulating pile to do, but I'm not too bad at it!

Hehe. DH just said "What's mending?" HE's the one who used to buy new shirts instead of doing laundry.Ok...sorry..maybe under 20 then....but I believe you are in the minority.MENDING???? What's that???? Who mends anymore??? What would you be mending at the B & B?

Fine, you're probably right. But you know one person. Don't lose hope in all of us!

You know two people actually. Add me to the list who would rather mend and sew than buy brand new. I'm only one year off the 30 markstephanie said:Fine, you're probably right. But you know one person. Don't lose hope in all of us!

BTW - I'm not 30 yet....though my DH turns 30 today.![]()

I'm with you. I sew on buttons and maybe do hems (if the local seamstress is busy). I've hated sewing from the get go and do not do it. My husband does more mending than me. He fixes his own clothing tears, etc.MENDING???? What's that???? Who mends anymore??? What would you be mending at the B & B?
