Don’t hide that patch, make it a bold, beautiful embellishment! Repair holes with bright thread and a creative darning stitch; revive a stained shirt with fun embroidery! In Mend It Better, I put a new spin on mending by adapting traditional techniques for today’s crafty sewers. With detailed photography to show each step, I teach you a wide range of patching, darning, and repair stitches using both hand stitching and machine sewing. The how-to text is accompanied by dozens of inspiring examples of my own work and that of other craft bloggers and artisans. You’ll love the innovative solutions using appliqués, patches, brightly colored accents, and intricate lace details. With Mend It Better, every garment and fabric repair is a chance for self-expression and fabulous creations.
