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

2.0

I am a new sewer (on machine for about 6 months and just starting hand sewing for mending clothes) and I really wanted this book to be helpful for me but it was more confusing and overwhelming. First off, the photos were not clear for me and I’m a visual leaner. I wish it hadn’t been animated style but real photos. The digital ADR version from Net Galley has hard to understand images, blurry black backgrounds on photos, and left me frustrated when trying to understand. The written content was good but I did not feel like the book was right for what I was hoping for. It may be good and helpful for someone who has a advanced understanding is sewing, but not for someone like me.
