In Britain, since at least late 19thC, it was thought to be bad luck to mend clothes whilst they were still being worn. What form the ill fortune would take varied from being cursed never to be rich to having evil thought/spoken of the unlucky one #FolkloreThursday

"Art thou from the snowy zone
Of a mountain summit blown
Or the blossom of a dream
Fashioned in the foamy stream

Nay, methinks the maiden moon
when the daylight came too soon
Fleeting from her bath to hide
Left her garment in the tide"

"Water-lily", J B Tabb

"On Saturday night shall be my care
To powder my locks, and curl my hair.
On Sunday morning my love will come in,
When he will marry me, with a gold ring

#illustration by Einar Nerman (1888-1983, Swedish)

'My lusts they do me leave,
My fancies all be fled,
And tract of time begins to weave
Grey hairs upon my head

For age with stealing steps
Hath clawed me with his crutch,
And lusty life away she leaps
As there had been none such'

by Lord Thomas Vaux
