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.

Product description

Review

"I'm excited for Mending Matters and for Katrina's work that offers new directions within the sustainable fashion community. It creates solutions, draws on handcraft heritage, and widens the opportunities to connect with Slow Fashion through simple stitching."--From the foreword by Natalie Chanin "Alabama Chanin "

"Our clothes can have a long history, if we let them. Mending is a way of ensuring a longer life for the clothes we wear and maintaining our long relationship with them. Human hands should always be a part of the making of fashion and Mending Matters helps inspire that long story. Because #lovedclotheslast."--Fashion Revolution

"This book is a joy--I love how Katrina combines practicality and a lightness of touch with a deep understanding of the issues that drive the Slow Fashion movement. Her creative, considered, and beautiful approach to mending and making is exactly what we need in this moment of overconsumption and fading connections to our clothing and textiles. Thank you, Katrina, for helping rekindle our love affair with clothes built to last and hold memories."--Clare Press "Sustainability Editor at Large, Vogue Australia "

Underwhelming

11 November 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

This book is essentially the same project repeated over and over, just changing the color of the patch and where it is applied on the garment. There is also no mention of mending knit fabric like sweaters or socks, which seems an oversight for a book of this length. I am returning it.

Gorgeous photography, practical skills

This book is exactly what I was looking for in Japanese-style visible mending practical tips that are on the more subtle side. Not everyone wants to be walking around in boho colorful patchwork and this avoids all that. On a strictly personal level, I'm getting a little tired of reading the same "artist statements" from the same people over and over again about "slow fashion" and sustainability. I realize there's a clique of people who do this stuff but a little diversity would be nice. That aside, this is a wonderful book.

A must have book

I pre-ordered this book even though I was a bit skeptical ...and being a fan of Boro, Sashiko and Kantha stitching was not sure this would be of interest. I really like this book. I'm a fan of 'art textiles' and even though I've sewn for years I really don't know much about actual mending.....toss the old thing and buy new was my motto. But overtime I've come to my senses and appreciate the act of mending, repair, preserving, making and re-making in creating a world of sustainability....very appealing. The book is well designed, simple and clear instruction, good photography. Each chapter provides a brief introduction, then technique(s), photos a little stitching history and brief 'essay' by contributing artists. I liked that the essays were interesting to read and not what I call "annoying artist art-speak" but rather more like a conversatioin with others who are like-minded. I do have to mention the size of the book.....approx. 7"x9". Such a nice change from the usual 9xll standard. As stitching/mending feels personal so does the size of the book. Personal is nice. So, congratulations to the author, well done!

Just what I was looking for!

I was looking for a boro book which emphasized mending jeans and had good illustrations. This is exactly what I was looking for. I like to buy 'distressed' jeans but if they have holes in the knees they are less practical. It's annoying to have one's foot get stuck in the hole when putting on the jeans. Through the use of boro stitching, the jeans become not only practical but wonderfully decorative. The other nice thing about boro mending is that you don't need to use a sewing machine.
