Who fixes things these days?! Raya!
I think we have almost forgotten its possible to repair things when we have busy lives and clothes, furniture, equipment etc are so readily available to us. There a new fashion, a different trend to keep up with so just chuck it out and buy a new one right?
WRONG! What is this teaching our kids? What about the environment? And let's think about the cash we could be investing in our future!
Okay so i'm not always going to be sewing up holes and there are times things have had their day. However, if we invest in quality and give love and attention when needed our belongings should have a good life span.
I was pretty overwhelmed when Raya pestered me to 'teach me mummy' to sew up a hole in a t shirt of hers, where the label had been cut out. I could not believe how well she did. So much determination in her!
