Book ID/图书代码： 12405011B47050
English Summary/英文概要： Welcome to the new face of mending! With “reuse, recycle, repurpose” as its mantra, today’s green generation is showing how worn clothing and fabric can be made not just wearable — but better, flaunting a whole new look. Don’t hide that patch, make it a bold, beautiful embellishment! Repair holes with bright thread and a creative darning stitch! Revive a stained shirt with the addition of fun embroidery!
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 appliqués, patches, brightly colored accents, and intricate lace details.
With Mend It Better, every garment and fabric repair is an opportunity for crafters to display their self-expression, along with their green sensibility.
