Modern Mending by Erin Lewis-Fitzgerald

Description Our favorite general reference guide for mending, Modern Mending contains tons of useful information about different mending techniques, stitches, and materials, as well as advice about how to choose the appropriate one for the fabric you’re repairing. Inspired by the slow fashion movement that’s taking the sewing world by storm, Erin Lewis-Fitzgerald has created a comprehensive guide to repairing your own clothes in a way that combines creativity and sustainability. In Modern Mending, she demystifies mending and shares step-by-step instructions for a range of techniques, including stitching, darning, patching, needle felting and machine darning. Furthermore, there’s an invaluable “Troubleshooting” section at the end of each tutorial, as well as a “Quick-fix” section for buttons, snags, ladders and zippers, so no stone is left unturned in your mending process! Says Erin, “My wish for this book is to share my love of mending with you, and to give you the knowledge, enthusiasm and confidence to mend just about anything. Mendy-problem-solving is such a fantastic skill to have; why not share what you’ve learned with others and reduce your environmental impact?”
