How to save lots of money with easy mending

We are in the coldest part of of winter now and I have been hunting in my drawers for my woolens.

I have been disappointed to discover some holes in my jumpers and knit wear 🙁 

I was thinking about cutting them up and creating something new however I just don’t have the time or motivation at the moment.

Hole created by a Clothing Moth – they just love wool!
I recently came across this blog post from Tortoise & Lady Grey – Mend and Make Do: Guide to Mending Your Woollens . I was so excited as my woolens were neither going to sit in my wardrobe unworn or go to land-fill and as a bonus I wouldn’t have to spend more money buying new ones!

Kari has compiled a great list of tutorials for repairing woollens to inspire you and help you get started. Go check it out here.
