visible mending for the clothes you love

Book - 2024

Well Worn is a fresh and engaging clothing repair guide for anyone looking to explore visible mending to revitalize their wardrobe. Whether you are a stitching pro or have never picked up a needle and thread, this book will guide you every step of the way. Visible mending can be used to repair clothing in an intentional and creative way, using traditional techniques including patching, darning, and sashiko. Instead of hiding imperfections or repairs, you can transform your garment with gorgeous results. Inside these pages, you will learn to mend jeans, sweaters, t-shirts, socks, and more. Mending is not only a crafty creative outlet but a slow and therapeutic act--one that fights against wardrobe perfectionism as well as fast fashion. This thorough but accessible guide is all about mending clothes you love, one slow stitch at a time.
