Wendy or Whendy7 was nominated to be on the podcast recently because she does some very creative mending. 

Visible mending is a skill she is developing everyday. Her parents gave her the lifelong value to mend. Wendy tells a great story about how both her mother and father helped her save both her school skirt and her bike.

Mending Mayhem is such a fun group for Wendy and she thanks Tricia for introducing them to her. Katrine and Anette, who run it, exude enthusiasm and mending positivity. They celebrate all kinds of mending – even a snowmobile!

Wendy is inspired by the efficiency and cleverness of zero waste patterns. She particularly enjoys Liz Haywood’s patterns.

Katrine and Suzie are the Mending mayhem team. Mending is part of their daily lives and not just mending clothes. Mending is done with love.

Every item has more than one life and mending is an everyday part of their lives.

Katrine lives in Norway and comes from a family of textile crafters and Suzie lives in the Isle of Wight and is a textiles artist. They teamed up last year after Mending March to keep the mending message alive on Instagram.

The visible mending movement (over 76,000 IG posts) was one of Suzie's starting points to show the benefits of mending. Mend March is another great hashtag to follow.

Evelyn Wood took the time to give us some more details about her vintage sewing school and her unique partnership with the Australian Sewing Guild.

You'll find all these details and previous ASG podcasts on their podcast page of our website.

Many people tag Evelyn on Instagram on Mondays with their mending efforts.
