- Let's dive into the history of mending and darning clothes! In this video, I going through why we mended our clothes throughout most of history, why mending slowly went out of fashion from the mid-20th century onwards in favour of replacing our clothes with new ones.
I am also covering why mending has started to make a comeback in recent years, the rise of visible mending and if visible mending is the new anti-fashion?
I am also sharing a bit about the history behind the Japanese mending techniques Sashiko (刺し子) & Boro (ぼろ).

I hope you were able to learn something new today around the history of mending clothes! 😊🧵🪡 If there is anything else that you know regarding the history of mending which I didn't cover in today's video - please leave a comment and let us all know! 👇🏻
This is a wonderful video with a wealth of information on the history of mending! It's just fascinating to look back and see how we got here! And hopefully see more of this coming back in our future 😀
I am so glad you enjoyed it! 🤗 I hope we definitely will see the mending movement grow and become mainstream again. 🤞🏻
Hello
As a man who mends his clothing, I personally find the whole experience to be extremely rewarding. I look at it in the same way I would replacing a cord on an appliance or painting a door or getting a car to start again. It just doesn't make sense to waste.
I fully agree! I also find, and maybe this was what you were getting at, that hunting for new items often takes way longer than repairing them.
Nice job, really interesting! I am going to start looking for things to mend! And mend creatively!
Thank you so much for your kind words and best of luck with your creative mending projects! 🥰
Shared to our group titled Rafoo on Facebook.
Aw.. thank you! That’s so sweet of you! 😄💕
This is a super good and informative video! Super well made as well! I'll make sure to check out your blog and read all the sources you used cause this subject fascinated me.
I am so glad to hear! 😊Thank you so much and have fun exploring this subject further! 🤓
Love this, so interesting and well researched. It would make a fascinating book, perhaps even an academic thesis? Then you could be Dr Matti xx
Dr. Matti 😅😍 I love it! Good idea for a thesis for sure! More research is definitely needed!
Thanks this was great!
Thank you! 💕 Glad to hear you liked it 😊
I would love to see a video on how to alter T-shirt from how to make them shorter and how to the sleeves shorter…. Thanks….
Great idea! I am actually working on a mending video where I did shorten a t-shirt (amongst other things). Until that video is live just want to let you know that I have a video on how to hem a t-shirt using a regular sewing machine that might also help.
