Shun fast fashion, repair rips and tears

Dog eyeing up washing on the line

If the dog's been at the washing line and made naughty rips in your clothes? Don't chuck it, try these repair methods instead.

Evelyn Wood is a life long dressmaker with a love of everything SEWING VINTAGE & FASHION, and her obsession is helping others on their sewing journey!

Watch me make this sneaky (trying to be invisible) mend!  I have a huge L-shaped tear that I need to mend and I used instructions from my fav vintage sewing book on mending and I talk you through how I modified it to suit the garment!


For more tips, tricks and tutorials on sewing and mending you'll find 267 videos on Evelyn's YouTube channel.
