1 . Once upon a time, sewing and mending clothes was common. 1 Why have people stopped mending their clothing? Schools stopped offering home economics classes, technology boomed and fast fashion became increasingly popular. All of a sudden, it’s more inconvenient to fix something than it is to buy something new.

But all hope is not lost. 2 On one of the most pleasant corners of the Internet, you’ll find lots of videos showcasing everything from visible mending to beginner sewing journeys.

3 It is a great way to reject consumerism. As anyone will tell you, the best thing you can do is buy less to begin with. That means shopping for quality items that will stand the test of time, but also learning a few key skills so you can repair those items as needed rather than sentencing them to life in an already-overflowing landfill. It’s also helpful to customize (改制) secondhand items which might not be exactly the right size or a little out of date. 4

Beyond the functional benefits, mending is about using what you have, embracing imperfections, fixing what’s broken, and rejecting the idea that newer is better. The other aspect of mending is mindfulness. 5 It’s meditative (冥想的), slow work. It’s productive, and deeply satisfying. And an added bonus: It’s sustainable.

If you are interested in sewing and mending, it is the perfect time to learn the new skill, which can especially have a positive impact on the world.

A．Why should you learn to mend?

B．Buying secondhand goods makes it possible to be sustainable.

C．Recently, it seems there’s a growing interest in sewing and mending.

E．This way, you may find yourself upcycling pieces into ones that suit you.

F．At some point in the last few decades, though, it became something of a lost art.

G．You focus on the task at hand and use your creativity to make your clothes unique.
