The Mending Directory - Erin Eggenburg

From Search Press, The Mending Directory by Erin Eggenburg is a paperback guide to visible mending, showing how to hand stitch or darn clothing and other fabric items so they can be repaired rather than discarded. With Erin recognised as a leading proponent of the movement, the book focuses on decorative stitch designs that help you restore worn areas while adding considered detail.

Inside, you’ll find over 50 hand-stitched mending patterns organised by skill level, from beginner through to expert. Each project is supported by a photograph of the finished stitched pattern, alongside step-by-step diagrams to help you recreate the design with confidence. Suitable for a range of fabrics including denim, woven materials and knits, it’s a practical addition to any sewing shelf—ideal for anyone looking to extend the life of everyday favourites through modern, visible repairs.
