This paper presents three textile-making practices performed on a daily basis by rural women who have been victims of the armed conflict in Colombia and who live in the municipalities of Bojayá, Quibdó and Sonsón. These practices were identified through analysis of the textile biographies of women who participate in handicraft and memory sewing groups in each town. We argue that these practices are a form of domestic-scale political resistance that goes along with the collective work these women do. In this sense, throughout the text, we relay how mending and making clothes, rag dolls, and patchwork quilts provide daily opportunities to create a life for oneself in contexts of ongoing political violence.
