It does all this through just four very simple mending techniques: exterior patches, interior patches, slow stitches, darning, and weaving. In addition, the book addresses the way mending leads to a more mindful relationship to fashion and to overall well-being. In essays that accompany each how-to chapter, Katrina Rodabaugh explores mending as a metaphor for appreciating our own naturally flawed selves, and she examines the ways in which mending teaches us new skills, self-reliance, and confidence, all gained from making things with our own hands.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"small-11 small-centered medium-12 columns end text book_praise\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row main_content\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"small-11 small-centered medium-12 large-uncentered xlarge-10 xxlarge-8 columns end text\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"aboutAuthor\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAbout the author\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.abramsbooks.com\/contributor\/katrina-rodabaugh_19426330\/\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.abramsbooks.com\/contributor\/katrina-rodabaugh_19426330\/\"\u003eKatrina Rodabaugh\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e is an award-winning artist and writer working across disciplines to explore environmental and social issues through craft techniques.
