A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

MODERATORS
Going off the headline alone makes me think of when the idea of putting cosmetic patches on things felt cool. Personally I still think it's cool, maybe others do too, I dunno.
Anyway, repairing things is cool whether it's electronic or cloth!
I wear a jacket that is now structurally reliant on the random patches I have sewn on over the years... and it still looks like shit... but it has a pocket that once held a jug of wine while I saw Prodigy in Paris, and no new jacket can replace that
