Mended Trousers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Other times mended clothes are associated with a lack of money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid this it is important to take into consideration the garment, the person wearing it, and the technique.  It is my opinion that mending large hole mixing techniques gives the best results and I will prove my point in my next article where I will show you how I mend a few rips on one of my favorite summer dresses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While mending large holes can sometimes seem like a hard task,  reusing, repairing, and recycling the garments that we love is a great way to stop creating more waste and pollution.  It is also a great way to explore our creativity.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Need more inspiration for mending large holes?  Do you have a technique I do have not covered above? Please share it on the comment below, or use Instagram using the tag #mendinglargehole so I can see your creation. Until then, let's keep the world together one stitch at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"PevH5H5JhC\"><a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/101-creative-ideas-recycle-denim-jeans\/\">101 Creative Ideas to Recycle Denim Jeans<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content lazyload\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;101 Creative Ideas to Recycle Denim Jeans&#8221; &#8212; So Sew Easy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/101-creative-ideas-recycle-denim-jeans\/embed\/#?secret=PevH5H5JhC\" data-secret=\"PevH5H5JhC\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n<h2>If You'd Like To Support Our Site<\/h2>\r\nIf you want to help us continue to bring you a wide selection of <a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/free-sewing-patterns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">free sewing patterns<\/a> and projects, please consider buying us a coffee.\u00a0 We'd really, really appreciate it.\r\n\r\n<center><div class=\"ko-fi-button\" data-text=\"Buy me a coffee!\" data-color=\"#ff5f5f\" data-code=\"\" id=\"kofiShortcode936Html\" style=\"float: none; text-align: left;\"><\/div><\/center>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mending large holes to repair garments we love and because we need to do our part to stop polluting our environment.
