Mending has been a passion of mine for a while now. There is a really large movement of menders and I have found so much inspiration from them. Visible mending and invisible mending; I love them both. There's #mendmarch #mendsday and so many other Instagram groups. On Facebook, there are many more groups to find like-minded people. Unfortunately, it is not as easy to find menders in my everyday life.

Not everyone, however, has the desire to mend their own clothes. Or they don't have the knowledge/skills. Or they really don't have the time. No shade, none at all.
So if the desire to maintain or alter their clothing is there, but the ability is not, I am now offering mobile mending services at the Southbridge Farmer's Market on Saturdays. You can bring your item/items to me on a Saturday and I will make the repairs and get them back to you the next week. Or we can arrange a pickup. Simple mends I may be able to do on the spot while you walk around to see the other cheerful vendors at the market.
