8 aug. 2023 heb ik mee gedaan met de workshop
Ik ben er thuis mee verder gegaan.

De 2 dingen die ik had meegebracht ben ik verder mee gegaan, en zal ik in de toekomst ook mee verder gaan.

Ik heb geleerd dat niet alleen het deel wat stuk is moet repareren maar het iets ruimer moet nemen. (om te voorkomen dat het in de toekomst weer verder slijt/scheurt)

Ik heb sommige enthousiast gekregen om kleding te repareren en niet weg te gooien.

1. When did you join the workshop? (Month and Year)
I joined the workshop in August 2023

2. Do you still wear or use the item?
I did not bring my own thing to the workshop, but I got one from another person who was in the workshop. I helped her repair it for her and she is still wearing it

3. Did you (visibly) mend other items since the workshop?
Yes, the trousers of my son. There was a hole in the knee and I fixed it by sewing a zigzag row by hand. It was an interesting experiment for me because I was curious if I could fix it in a right way. The outcome is very nice, so I’m happy. I tried to apply what I learned in the workshop. And when my son saw the result he was so happy and thanking me much.

4. Did your skills improve since the workshop?
Yes because when I saw one of my trousers which had bleach on it, now I have an idea of how to fix it. So I was glad that I attended the workshop

5. Did you share or discuss mending with others?
Yes at my work. They were curious and asked me about my mending experiences during the workshop. I tried to explain visible mending to my colleagues and they thought it was interesting.

I joined the workshop in August 2023. After the workshop I still had many clothes left that I could fix. This is one of them. The straps on this jumpsuit kept breaking even after I had fixed it several times. During the workshop I have learned to strengthen the weakest area first before mending it. Let's hope it works better this time! I know there is still much more to learn and many more ways to mend things, so I will keep exploring. Thank you Emma and Danika!
