Whenever I buy clothes they always end up getting holes quickly, I burn through socks fast, my bags keep breaking, my phones magically shit themselves and my chargers melt. I’m sick of everything being a wear part and I’m wondering where people get things that last.
Darning is super easy to do at an “ugly but functional” level, and then it does seem to reward the extra effort of getting skilled and creative quite well with all those neat patching styles (though I’m still in the ugly but functional stage).
Darning takes so long. I find it soothing, but like way longer than I expected
