Mending SOS
A few hints from "Good Housekeeping" (10/10) magazine to keep things in "one piece!"
* Keep dental floss on hand for sewing buttons - much stronger than thread and you can get the right shade using a permanent marker!
* Save hotel sewing kits that you get in your bathroom accessories for quick mending at home or on the road.
* Use emery boards to buff stains from suede items in your wardrobe (is suede even still an "in" material?)
* Utilize garment tape or craft glue to quickly repair hems, accessories or broken shoe heels...at least as a temporary solution!
Any other suggestions from our road warriors? Please share!
