Seeing so many people interested in repairing clothes instead of tossing them gave me hope for less waste.

Totally thought it was pointless until I saw this.

Wait actually, darning is just for socks though. I mean it's cool people are learning, but that's a super specific fix. Most clothing repairs need way different skills, like sewing seams or patching holes in jeans. Still nice to see folks trying to learn any of it, idk maybe it's just me but I hope they stick with it past socks.
