Whendy7 Dec 06, 2021

Show notes

Wendy or Whendy7 was nominated to be on the podcast recently because she does some very creative mending.

Visible mending is a skill she is developing everyday. Her parents gave her the lifelong value to mend. Wendy tells a great story about how both her mother and father helped her save both her school skirt and her bike.

Mending Mayhem is such a fun group for Wendy and she thanks Tricia for introducing them to her. Katrine and Anette, who run it, exude enthusiasm and mending positivity. They celebrate all kinds of mending – even a snowmobile!

Wendy is inspired by the efficiency and cleverness of zero waste patterns. She particularly enjoys Liz Haywood's patterns.
