We often sort out our clothes in the New Year and get rid of anything that's in need of repair, as well as those items we no longer like to wear.

If you have items that are now worn, have tears, missing buttons or need alteration, might you think about how they cold be repaired? A current fashion is for visible, rather than invisible repairs. There is a ‘crafternoon’ group which meets on Wednesdays at Ripley Church where you would find some company and advice (depending on what you want to learn). Even if you have nothing that needs repair, why not pop in and see what they are doing?
