I've repaired various beaters and instruments at school and I watched a Youtube video on how to tie cymbal straps. I got my Mum to crochet together a broken cabasa at school- she said it was a complete nightmare to do but she managed it!Kezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705356707599121605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7203323287774911355.post-32260703160125977322017-07-04T11:42:51.889+01:002017-07-04T11:42:51.889+01:00Great work - and I bet it's better having a wo...Great work - and I bet it's better having a wooden handle as it won't get too hot to life off without an oven glove!Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16043065727770116407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7203323287774911355.post-77542891351226856152017-07-04T11:18:03.098+01:002017-07-04T11:18:03.098+01:00I really like these posts.

I'm still telling everyone about the M&S cotton buds (after ordering three packs), and the metal straws too.<br />I made a bee bath for the garden out of an old bird bath that had been sitting in our hedge on it's side for ages. And I've been patching old jeans instead of buying new ones, although admittedly this was fueled more by my hatred of shopping for jeans. I have a top that I managed to ripe on only the third time of wearing. I'm planning to mend it but I just haven't worked out how yet...HazelxJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438389465030714608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7203323287774911355.post-57759245863176304192017-07-04T10:32:47.178+01:002017-07-04T10:32:47.178+01:00Sewn the split seam of my co-op bag for life (appa...Sewn the split seam of my co-op bag for life (apparently not!) turned an old dressing gown in to a 'cat nest' - best thing ever apparently (according to the cats!)kjsutcliffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02064786032612487652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7203323287774911355.post-4160190989921720242017-07-04T09:49:39.334+01:002017-07-04T09:49:39.334+01:00Make do and mend is our ethos!

On Saturday Jon unearthed a 1970s garden parasol we'd bought from a car boot sale years ago from the shed and discovered it had been nibbled by mice. Using scraps of vintage fabric left over from dressmaking projects, a pot of sequins given to me by a friend and some 1960s braiding taken off a dress too tatty to sell I patched up the raggedy bits and five hours later have a groovy, customised parasol fit to adorn the ladies' dress rail at the Cornbury festival this weekend! xxxVixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7203323287774911355.post-76310322837450435082017-07-04T07:59:36.829+01:002017-07-04T07:59:36.829+01:00This isn't a repair as such, but I have wanted...This isn't a repair as such, but I have wanted an outdoor shoe store so I'm not constantly treading sand through the house. I didn't want to buy one so I just screwed some hooks that were in the garage into the door of the bin store - now I have somewhere to hang my sandals!<br /><br />thrift deluxehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12267215022924475298noreply@blogger.com
