Make, Sew and Mend

Traditional Techniques to Sustainably Maintain and Refashion Your Clothes

Bernadette Banner

Description

Make, Sew and Mend is infused with the author's charming, informative voice to teach readers how to use historically proven sewing techniques to hem skirts, patch holes and sew gussets to add space to garments.

As people learn the environmental and economic toll of fast fashion, they are turning toward more sustainable fashion practices like mending. From running and herringbone stitches to basting, pleats and buttonholes, Bernadette Banner breaks down techniques with step-by-step photos to show people with any level of sewing skill how to achieve the most lasting results for every stitch.

Whether readers are looking to build and maintain a vintage wardrobe or merely want to phase out fast fashion in favour of more sustainable practices, this book has the basics covered.
