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

di Katrina Rodabaugh (Autore)

Abrams, 2018

«Durante il lockdown ho imparato l'arte del rammendo creativo e ora ne sono ossessionata. Questo libro - nell'ottica del reduce/reuse/recycle - offre spunti per riparare i nostri vestiti e jeans con ricami che ricordano il Sashiko giapponese, dove prevalgono il bianco e il blu.» - Marcella Pralormo, La Repubblica

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.
