A practical guide to visible mending

Skye Pennant’s guide brings clothing repair into focus as both a hands-on craft and a way to extend the life of garments. It introduces traditional darning and sashiko, with foundational guidance on fabrics, tools, and materials following a brief history of mending. The instructions are arranged by garment type, including denim, knitwear, T-shirts, and socks, making the book’s structure useful for approaching repairs by what is in need of attention. Visible stitching is treated as part of the repair, connecting practical sewing skills with a more considered approach to clothing use.
