Creative Work For a World
Worth Mending

At Worth Mending, we believe the world has so much already, why buy new, why the obsession with single-use? The creative potential from working with (mostly) reclaimed, repurposed, upcycled and salvaged materials is endless and empowering. To me, it sits perfectly alongside building a world where resources, people and planet are treated with respect and dignity. Nothing is disposable!

Hi, I'm Elysha!

Elysha Schuhbauer, for the digital fingerprint.(eee-lee-sha, for pronounciation, they/them for pronouns). I create functional art with thread, fabric, wood and found objects. I am so happy to have found a niche that works for me here in the maker world: use what we have!

Meet Us!

My partner in this is Scott Calway, who takes care of production and other behind-the-scenes stuff.

We designed and make this cool little product called the Swift Darning Loom, it's made from reclaimed hardwood and bike spokes, it makes darning and weaving a little easier, it's beautiful, it's a future heirloom for your family to find and wonder at, it's our only child, and it's for sale! Ah, the millennial life. We love it. And you.
