Visible Mending: A Modern Guide to Darning, Stitching and Patching the Clothes You Love

We all have that favorite pair of jeans - no matter how baggy or worn they might become.

In the movement against throw-away culture and fast fashion, learn how to pick up a needle and rediscover the forgotten techniques and the joy of mending.

In Visible Mending, Arounna explores why we should mend, and how to mend a variety of different fabrics. Work through the illustrated step-by-step instructions that will demystify mending techniques and discover how these can be easily applied to old
items to give them a fresh, modern look.

Packed with skill-based projects, this book reveals how to patch jeans, embroider over tears, dye stains, and use the Japanese art of Sashiko.

Visible Mending is a book for those who want to learn how to make the most of their wardrobes, be less wasteful, and more sustainable, and add a personal touch to their garments.
