Simple Ladder Stitches Tutorial - How To Repair A Hole On Our Clothes

We're delighted to share insights from our dear friend @bookhou, who skilfully revives the art of mending clothes. Breathing new life into them instead of discarding them into a landfill.

When it comes to repairing and mending holes on clothes, the ladder stitch is a go-to technique that is both simple and accessible to everyone. This versatile method allows us, regardless of our crafting experience, to easily fix our clothes in the comfort of our own homes. The ladder stitch is a hand-sewing technique that involves creating a series of parallel stitches resembling the rungs of a ladder. It is often used for closing seams or repairing openings, such as holes or tears, in fabric.

Mending our clothes is more than a practical act; it's an act of love and conscious consumption. Each stitch we make symbolises our commitment to sustainability, resisting the throwaway culture.

We hope you embrace this beautiful practice and make it your own!
