Unit2-Reflective Journal -Repair workshop

Mending is a way of bringing old things back into life.By experiencing the process of mending I feel that the process is peaceful. I feel that I am talking to the object through the needle and thread. In real life every hole has its own story and memories, containing the emotional experiences of people. Through mending I thought about how relationships between people also need to be constantly maintained and mended, just as I did with the sewing blocks. I also realised again the great emotional value of clothing to people and how easily one seems to associate textiles with human emotions.
