Mending Life

Now in paperback, this beautiful modern sewing and mending guide with vibrant, full-color illustrations woven throughout encourages us to break free from the fast fashion industry by repairing our clothes rather than discarding them.

Along with DIY and how-to illustrations and tutorials, you’ll find heartfelt stories by authors Nina and Sonya Montenegro (creators of the popular @TheFarWoods) that encourage you to change your consumption habits, celebrate a sustainable, intentional lifestyle, demonstrate mending as a powerful act that not only strengthens the object we are repairing, but ourselves as well. 

Beginners and Seasoned Sewers will find:

Basic Mending Skills - how to thread a needle, how to tie knots, and basic stitches 

Sashiko - a striking Japanese hand-sewing technique for reinforcement and decoration.
