Synopsis

Working across more than 20 hands-on projects, this book presents visible mending that feels modern and bold while remaining rooted in traditional stitching. The approach is built around a small set of accessible methods, including exterior patches, interior patches, slow stitches, darning, and weaving.

Alongside the practical instruction, essays accompany each how-to chapter to consider mending as a way to develop a more mindful relationship with fashion and personal wellbeing. Rodabaugh also frames repair as a metaphor for valuing natural imperfections, and explores how making with your hands can build skills, self-reliance and confidence.
