Instead of stowing or throwing away damaged pieces that hold happy memories, you can employ these sustainable ideas to give them a new life. With this book, you'll learn how to repair knitted and woven fabrics; work with flat and curved surfaces; repair comfy, well-made socks and gloves; make a statement with creative patching; fill in holes with roving using felting techniques; use embroidery to visibly mend frays or damage from the odd cat claw; apply other tips and techniques to torn, worn, or stained favorites.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Quotes\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"...a must-have for those looking to shrink their ecological footprint with beauty and warmth.\" \n\u003cb\u003e --\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Quotes\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"...[a] clever how-to...Those looking to bring new life to old pieces will find this a useful guide.\" \n\u003cb\u003e --\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Quotes\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"It will give you lots of fun ideas, making mending into a joyful activity instead of a boring chore.\" \n\u003cb\u003e --\u003ci\u003eApartment Prepper \u003c\/i\u003eblog\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePromotional Headline\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTuttle Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/span\u003e 02\/01\/2021 (EAN 9780804854030, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eBooklist\u003c\/span\u003e 02\/15\/2021 pg. 11 (EAN 9780804854030, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Misumi, Noriko\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tuttle Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePub Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 2021-04-06\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC:\u003c\/b\u003e Crafts \u0026amp; Hobbies \/ Upcycling \u0026amp; Repurposing|Crafts \u0026amp; Hobbies \/ Sewing|Crafts \u0026amp; Hobbies \/ Needlework \/ Embroidery|Crafts \u0026amp; Hobbies \/ Fashion|Design \/ Textile \u0026amp; Costume\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSubjects:\u003c\/b\u003e Clothing and dress|Repairing|Sewing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804854030\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eASIN:\u003c\/b\u003e -\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSKU:\u003c\/b\u003e SP-9780804854030\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tuttle Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52866838495513,"sku":"SP-9780804854030","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/0380\/5209\/files\/9780804854030_spiral.png?v=1784609846","url":"https:\/\/westbindery.com\/products\/mending-with-love-creative-repairs-for-your-favorite-things","provider":"West Bindery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
