Stitch, Patch, and Repair Favorite Denim & More Rodabaugh, Katrina creator author. Pearson, Karen (Photographer) photographer. text biography nyu 2018 2018 monographic eng 224 pages : colour photographs ; 24 cm Mending Matters explores sewing on two levels: First, it includes more than 20 hands-on projects that showcase current trends in visible mending that are edgy, modern, and bold-but draw on traditional stitching. 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. general KATRINA RODABAUGH ; PHOTOGRAPHY BY KAREN PEARSON Clothing and dress Repairing Denim Sewing 646.6 9781419729478 PPAK 190910 20190910171521.0 eng
