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.
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..
In addition, the book addresses the way Mending leads to a More mindful relationship to fashion and to overall well-being.
It does all this through just four very simple Mending techniques: exterior patches, interior patches, slow stitches, darning, and weaving.
