Synopsis
In "Mend It Better", popular craft blogger Kristin M. Roach, whose website Craft Leftovers has a regular readership of over 30,000, introduces a fresh spin on mending by adapting traditional techniques for today's crafty sewers. With detailed photography showing each step, she teaches a wide range of patching, darning, and repair stitches using both hand and machine sewing. For all those sewers who never had a grandmother teach them how to sew on a button, repair a hem, or take in a seam, this is a volume of classic craft wisdom taken to the next level. The how-to text is accompanied by dozens of inspiring examples from Kristin's own work and that of other notable craft bloggers and artisans. Eco-conscious creatives will love the innovative solutions that use appliques, patches, brightly coloured accents, and intricate lace details. With "Mend It Better", every garment and fabric repair is a chance for crafters to display their self-expression along with their green sensibility.
