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!

Wanna mend your own clothes? Check out my nonfiction list Opting Out of Fast Fashion! 🙂

One of several Non-Humans & Empathy -themed lists by @Myth.Ink (See also: Fiction, GNs/Manga+, Non-Fiction, Youth Titles, & Creature Feature) | This list is the Official @Myth.Ink Curation edition aka, including real and fictional interactions and considerations of interactions between non-human beings of all types (from trees, animals, bugs, robots, ai, aliens, fantastical creatures and monsters, etc) and humans, empathy and/or lack thereof. | In my humble opinion, these are the best of what I am personally familiar with | Suggestions are more than welcome (and will be added to respective lists, and/or TBR).
