Mending is referred to as the fixing of something that is broken. Sometimes this can mean clothing like mending a skirt or a shoe, but it can also mean to mend something abstract like a relationship with another person. During the time when New France (Canada) was being set up people rarely threw out clothes and mended everything until it was unfixable. Another time when people mended for a reason was during the Great Depression when people were too poor to buy new clothes to replace their old ones. To mend an article of clothing one must first have a threaded needle. The type of thread depends on the object being fixed. For example if someone is fixing a shirt they would use thread but if someone was mending a leather shoe they would probably use a strip of leather. The next step is to simply sew the item until the rip or hole is mended.
