Mending Used to Be Normal
An incomplete list of fiction that casually mentions darning, patching, or otherwise repairing clothing and textiles, or where characters explicitly wear mended garments. I'm gonna be real with you, the number of books I've discovered mending in is so large I can't remember them all, so expect this list to grow as I continue to read and re/discover.
Suggestions welcome!
