Mending Matters: Stitch, Patch, and Repair Your Favorite Denim & More

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.Author: Rodabaugh, Katrina,author Contributors: Rodabaugh, Katrina,author Binding: hardcover Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Format: illustrated Edition: Illustrated Published/Release Date: 16 Oct 2018 Format: Hardback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Abrams Author/Director/Artist: Katrina Rodabaugh Dimension (cm): 235x184x25 mm Package Dimension (cm): 24x235x185 mm Item Weight (g): 920 Package Weight (g): 910
