Size.
Ok. You're keen to give your clothes some good mends.
How it works:
1. DAMAGE AREA: Measure your damaged area in centimeters. Include the fraying bits; measure to solid cloth or weave. Then add 1.5cm to each side of your damaged area (i.e. add 3m to the length and width of your damage measurements). Ta da; you now have your mending size.
2. OVERALL AREA: Decide if you want an extended mending area. For example, sachiko extends quite a bit. If you want a large area, then add the measurements of the external boundaries.
3. CLOTH TYPE: your piece is either knitted (jumpers) or woven (shirts, trousers, etc.). If they're knitted, ascertain whether it's fine knit (i.e. a thin jumper) or a medium/chunky knit (a thicker jumper).
4. FIND YOUR SIZE: The size scales below based on your cloth type and size will determine whether you have a Small, Medium or Large mends.
