What was repaired?
As the cloth is many years old it tore on the shoulder blade.
How was it repaired?
I went to a tailor. He sewed it and tried to put traditional ornamental work on it.
Why was it repaired?
I guess out of nostalgia.
Why is repair important?
100 Trillion tonnes of cloth are thrown every year. All these clothes are made out of natural resources. Why not repair it as it is made out of good quality linen - and a kurta does not get out of style.
