Mending Life: A Handbook for Repairing Clothes and Hearts

This beautiful modern sewing and mending guide with vibrant, full-color illustrations woven throughout encourages us to break free from the fast fashion industry by repairing our clothes rather than discarding them. 

Along with DIY and how-to illustrations and tutorials, you’ll find heartfelt stories by authors Nina and Sonya Montenegro (creators of the popular @TheFarWoods) that encourage you to change your consumption habits, celebrate a sustainable, intentional lifestyle, demonstrate mending as a powerful act that not only strengthens the object we are repairing, but ourselves as well.

Beginners and Seasoned Sewers will find:

Basic Mending Skills - how to thread a needle, how to tie knots, and basic stitches

Sashiko - a striking Japanese hand-sewing technique for reinforcement and decoration.
