Hi everyone!
My name is Camilla, and I have been kindly invited to guest blog on The-Thrift to talk about a subject I am very passionate about: maintaining and prolonging the life of clothes. Essentially, making them last as long as possible!
This is such an important topic and I feel that most of the time people might give up on a perfectly fine garment. They may be unaware that they can mend them, think repairs are too difficult or simply don’t have the time.
Today I want to show you three simple steps you can take in order to extend the life of your clothes. I hope you will find this useful!
Making your knitwear look brand new
One of the main issues I find when charity shopping is bobbling fabric. Once an item bobbles, people don’t know how to restore their knit to its former glory. You might want to consider investing in a fabric shave. Acquiring one of these was the best decision I ever made clothes-wise: it changed my life! A little dramatic perhaps, but it made me aware of how people wear clothes and expect them to look new without any maintenance.
