A Fair + Simple Life — how to RSS

Mending engages us with our clothing. You will learn so much about quality, fiber, drape, structure, and sustainability by mending your garments by patching them!

I created a simple shift dress pattern to raise money and awareness for Dressember.  Women wear dresses for the month of December and people sponsor them.  The money raised goes to fight human trafficking.  Since the garment industry is such a huge contributor to the exploitation of women and children, this fits really well.  A person is behind every seam of the clothes we wear, and it's usually a woman.  Our care in purchasing clothes responsibly is a way to show that we value that person.  It's bigger than a dress.
