I dug it out because I wanted it for an event, and found it had suffered significant moth damage. I wasn't sure it could be saved, but decided to get in and try, taking one damaged section at a time. It worked. While I was repairing and stabilising the cloak, some words came to me, and then a tune. Of course it's not just about fabric, it's about a way of being in the world, which is where the re-enchantment comes in. Threadbare When everything's worn out And falling apart I'll be there with my scissors My will and my art And I'll salvage the pieces And patch up the rest Remaking, restoring Is what I do best. I won't throw anything away If I can help it I don't give up in any way If I can help it I won't stop trying if I can, I'll repair and rebuild  This is who I am. I'll bring my needle And I'll bring my thread I have glue I have patience To raise up the dead I'll take the discarded The lost and forlorn Make something new Where the fabric is worn. I'll bring my patience And I'll bring my heart I have time and ideas When things fall apart, I can see futures When threads come undone Pick up the stitches Where the knitting has run. All I do is keep trying Nothing too wrecked to be darned All it takes for the mending Is to undo the harm Life wears the edges I put them back in place No one too worn to be rescued Repair and rebuild, don't replace.
