Make, Sew and Mend: Traditional Techniques to Sustainably Maintain and Refashion Your Clothes by Bernadette Banner

informative medium-paced

4.5

Excellent book for sewists who are interested in hand-sewing or hand-mending/darning techniques, and historical accuracy. Really good advice, detailed photographs, and terminology so that if you are still struggling with the ideas, you can look for videos (preferably, hers!). 

However - if you're looking for more modern information, you're going to need more information than this provides. It's still a good information source for textiles and hand-sewing though!
