THE MENDING HANDBOOK
Reclaiming Your Wardrobe:
We’ll be honest: We hate mending. To us, it sounds like a chore. And traditional embroidery? It’s just not where our interests lie. But we love reclaiming.
Mending Handbook isn’t a textbook on fixing holes; it’s a manifesto on enhancing textiles. We’re using 50 traditional stitches to breathe new life into worn garments, cover stains, and turn the ‘mending pile’ into a collection of artistic possibilities.
