Mending Life: A Handbook for Repairing Clothes and Hearts by Nina Montenegro, Sonya Montenegro

5.0

This is a very useful book that would make a great addition to any home library. Aesthetically, the illustrations throughout are pleasant and inviting, invoking the joy and mindfulness of mending, and the illustrations showing technique are clear and easy to follow. The stories are warm and cozy, and make you want to search your clothes for holes and tears to fix! All kinds of different techniques are covered, from patches to sashiko to darning and more, plus tips on how to alter clothing that doesn't fit well, or to update the style. I love the idea of honoring the garment, and repairing loved clothing rather than buying new clothes all the time. I've done some repairing, now I'm inspired to do more!
