Sewing Needle

While not everyone may know how to sew, I believe this is a skill that is helpful for all to know. Watch a video or ask someone that you know to teach you the basics of sewing by hand so that you can easily fix small issues with clothing.

Iron-Ons

All you need is an iron for this easy fix. Iron on patches can cover holes. You can find them at craft stores, or buy iron-ons that are especially for mending clothes in online sustainable shops.
