This amazing book shares 22 how-to techniques to mend, stitch, patch, and repair your favourite denim and more. This book focuses exclusively on hand-stitching to repair woven garments like linen, cotton, silk, and denim. Includes five original essays, contributor quotes, and over 200 colour photographs.
An instant bestseller, Mending Matters, is now in its ninth printing!
More than 20 hands-on projects that showcase current trends in visible mending that are edgy, modern, and bold – but draw on traditional stitching.
It does all this through just four very simple mending techniques:
• exterior patches
• interior patches
• slow stitches
• darning, and weavingIn addition, the book addresses the way mending leads to a more mindful relationship to fashion and to overall well-being. In essays that accompany each how-to chapter, Katrina Rodabaugh explores mending as a metaphor for appreciating our own naturally flawed selves, and she examines the ways in which mending teaches us new skills, self-reliance, and confidence, all gained from making things with our own hands.
