Don't throw away your clothes, repair them

In recent decades, we have become too accustomed to the fact that when something breaks, we simply buy a new one. A washing machine that has stopped working after a while ends up in the trash, a phone with a broken screen ends up in the depths of a drawer. Simply put, replacing things that stop working after a while has become a standard that we don't think much about. However, we can probably all agree that flooding the planet with things that end up in landfills after a few uses is not entirely right. And thanks to the fact that more and more of us are starting to care about what we leave behind on Earth, repairing and recycling used things is becoming a pleasant trend. It's easy to call a repairman when our refrigerator breaks down, or take our computer to a repair shop. But what if our favorite piece of clothing suddenly has a minor defect? ​​Did a button on your shirt fall off or did you catch your pants on something sharp? Have you lost weight and your favorite clothes don't fit you at all? Don't despair, our Alain Delon Journal is here to help you not only cope with any situation, but also gain a new skill that doesn't just come easy.

A button that fell off

There's nothing worse than walking into your closet in the morning and finding that a button is missing from your favorite shirt. You don't need to be a master tailor to sew a new one, anyone can do it. All you need is a needle, thread, and a spare button, which you can find on the inside of our shirt. 1. Thread the thread First, cut a long piece of thread, maybe 60 cm. Thread the thread onto the needle so that the needle is in the middle and tie a knot at both ends. This knot should be large enough so that it doesn't go through the fabric. 2. Aim Use a pin to mark where the button should go and thread the needle through the bottom of the fabric so that it comes out right next to the pin. Pull until you hit the knot you made in the thread. 4. Commit The last step is to secure the button so that it doesn't fall off again. When you thread the last time from the inside out, don't pull the thread all the way through, but create a loop at the bottom. Bring the thread back down through the buttonhole and through the loop you made earlier. Tighten and then cut off the excess thread. Done.

Ripped seam

Another common frustration in a man's wardrobe is when you find that a seam on your pants or sweater has split. Even though it may seem hopeless at the moment, don't despair, the repair couldn't be easier. 1. Prepare yourself Turn the piece of clothing you want to repair inside out. Then thread the needle. If you are repairing thicker fabrics, it is a good idea to thread the needle as you would for buttons on a shirt, but if the fabric is thinner, it is sufficient to thread the needle only once.
