Bring new life to your old clothes and fabrics with this fun, easy-to-follow guide to modern mending.



Across the globe, we send tonnes of clothing to landfills each year. In fact, clothing consumption in the UK and US is one of the highest in the world. But the good news is that mending is trending, and it's never been easier to repair and reinvent your favourite clothes.



Inspired by the slow fashion movement that's taking the sewing world by storm, Erin Lewis-Fitzgerald has created a comprehensive guide to repairing your own clothes in a way that combines creativity and sustainability. In Modern Mending, she demystifies mending and shares step-by-step instructions for a range of techniques, including stitching, darning, patching, needle felting and machine darning. Furthermore, there's an invaluable "Troubleshooting" section at the end of each tutorial, as well as a "Quick-fix" section for buttons, snags, ladders and zippers, so no stone is left unturned in your mending process!



So next time you tear your favourite jeans or find a hole in your jumper, think twice before throwing them away. With Modern Mending, you'll gain the skills and confidence needed to rebel against fast fashion, be less wasteful and more sustainable for years to come.

This is a surprisingly thick book, full of lots of practical info and helpful tips. Well laid out with loads of clear photos, great for beginners and beyond. I particularly enjoyed the 'this goes with that' section (see pic), very useful and well thought out. Just that little nudge you need to get started on your mending journey!

A very useful book to repair and mend clothes. 

A well illustrated book that makes mending clothes look very easy. I particularly like the chapters on mending denim jeans by hand and also by machine as my husband makes holes in the knee area and I will adopt these techniques in the future. There are chapters on darning, felting, machine darning etc. There are loads of ideas, both as a mending tool. but also ones you could just change a look of an article. Ideal for people to cut down on waste and also to give style to plain clothes
