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. Katrina writes in her introduction, When we spend time patching,
stitching, darning, or otherwise fixing torn fabrics, we ultimately deepen our
understanding of quality, composition, and craftsmanship. 8221 Let her guide

your clothing and how it is made. It s a process that will provide unexpected
rewards. So, think twice before throwing away those well worn jeans or your
favorite sweater. Learn new skills that will allow you to keep them with you for
years as a reminder of your time together and the experiences you ve shared.
