Synopsis

Centred on the everyday reality of worn favourites, this guide shows how to mend, patch and repair garments so they can be kept in use for longer. Drawing on the author’s experience running a mending studio in a clothes shop in Stockholm, it offers practical skills and ideas for dealing with a range of wear and tear.

Alongside quick, in-the-moment solutions such as sewing on a button and fixing split seams, it also explores ways to add decorative stitching and work with different materials, including leather, cotton, wool and denim. With a mix of straightforward repairs and more involved techniques, it suits sewers, crafters and fashion lovers of all abilities, including those interested in a more sustainable lifestyle.
