Before you list that torn skirt, check if it just needs a quick fix.
A missing button, loose hem, or small tear shouldn’t end a garment’s life.
Pop into The Sewing Café (Muizenberg) or The Fixery (Woodstock), both are brilliant for small repairs. Or grab a needle yourself; YouTube tutorials and a R30 sewing kit can work miracles.
The less we throw away, the more we honour what we own. Repairing before swapping isn’t just eco-friendly, and a quiet act of care.
