Things to do while isolating: mending linen

Mending and darning are things I like to do but somehow they always end up pushed down my todo-list. Mending is a calming activity. It’s also a low stress, low decision one.

I don’t do invisible mending and often use embroidery thread. Mainly because I have a stash of it to use up.
