Practical repairs for everyday clothes

Raleigh Briggs’s guide organizes clothing repair around the kinds of damage that can make a garment harder to use: loose hems, broken zippers, worn seams, and holes. It covers supplies, knots and stitches, buttons, patching, darning, hemming, zipper repair, and care for materials including canvas, leather, and nylon. The book connects mending with reducing clothing purchases and concerns about fast-fashion labor practices, giving its hands-on subject a broader context. Its illustrated, handwritten format is described as part of an approachable introduction to repair techniques.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People who want practical guidance on repairing clothing at home
  • Menders interested in stitches, patches, darning, hems, and zippers
  • Readers concerned with clothing waste or fast-fashion labor practices
