"A Slow Fashion guide for a well-loved wardrobe"--Cover.
Foreword -- Introduction -- My fashion fast -- Mending tools and materials -- Basic techniques and slow design -- Exterior patches -- Interior patches -- Hand stitches and Sashiko -- Improved darning and weaving -- Reframing reuse -- Resources -- Acknowledgments -- About the author.
Mending Matters explores sewing on two levels: First, it includes 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 weaving. In 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.

Old-fashioned mending with an artsy twist submitted by teri on July 1, 2019, 12:03am Mending used to be part of our lives, but more recently it's seemed a little old-fashioned. Nice to see a come-back. The author includes simple mending projects (mostly on denim) with good instructions.

Beautiful submitted by manz on February 14, 2022, 4:24pm This is a great book with good mending ideas and clear directions on how to accomplish them in projects.
