Grandparents are an indispensable resource for learning how to fix things the old fashioned way—so we don’t have to wastefully throw stuff away. Not all of us are lucky enough to have granny and gramps still around though. Or if we do, it’s not always the easiest or most time efficient resource. A quick button repair question can easily turn into a two-hour cookie and tea affair. Sure, this bonding is the best but sometimes we just need a super quick fix—and Craftzine is where it’s at.

Dubbing this month March Mending Month, they’re offering up easy, accessible instructions for all things mend-able and repair-able. And newbie crafters shouldn’t shy away. Craftzine has the wonderful ability to take totally intimidating tasks like sewing and knitting and turn them into something actually doable—and make it uber-hip all the while. 

So whether you have a pair of jeans you want to patch, a button to sew, a wine stain to remove or a sofa cushion to fix—head over to Craftzine before March ends.
