Did you know that the Swift Darning Loom is named for "Swift" the bird?
It ended up a fun play on words because "swift" is also associated with speed (and our darning looms help you darn quicker, and tidier!), but as avid nature lovers it's also a hat tip to our feathered migrating friends.
We have three special Darning and Weaving Bundles travelling the world, would you like to host one?
How does the Mending Migration work?
◦ Patch, darn, weave to your heart's content ❤️💫
◦ Take lots of photos, and complete a reflection for our Mending Migration blog
◦ Add your story to the travelling "Passport" (guest book)
◦ Pass it on! 💌
Who can join?
Are you enthused about visible mending, curious about slow fashion, keen to support our Worth Mending magic, an eager guest blogger?
The Migration is open: you don't need a platform, a public social media profile, or even any mending experience in order to participate. It's all about passion!
We'll collect your photos/media and publish everything under Worth Mending, though you are also welcome and encouraged to share your process and experience however you please :)
How long is each Migration stop?
This duration is meant to allow ample time to play...but not so much time that it gets set aside and forgotten, you know? I am happy to accommodate a longer stop in certain cases. Communication is key!
What am I responsible for, as a Mending Migration Host?
◦ Darn and weave with the travelling Darning and Weaving kit as much as you can 🪡🧶 completing at least one project to share on our blog.
◦ Provide photos/videos of your work, and answers to the discussion questions about your experience
◦ Be in regular email contact with Elysha before and during your stop
◦ Make sure the kit is complete and in good repair before sending it off
◦ Arrange postage and shipping to the next person (reimbursement is available for this cost)
and I'll be in touch when it's your turn to play along!
