Description
The Art of Repair by Molly Martin Molly Martin's journey with needle and thread began with a simple, yet meaningful task: repairing a pair of cherished socks. Her mother's guidance on darning and reinforcing thinning stitches sparked a lifelong passion for the art of repair. In this beautifully illustrated book, Molly explores the value of slow and sustainable fashion, and the psychological benefits that come with it. Through her own expertise and traditional techniques, Molly guides readers through the basics of repair, from piecing and patching to the ancient Japanese art of Sashiko. This book offers a practical solution and a nourishing experience for the soul, encouraging us to reconnect with the everyday objects in our environment and ourselves. By embracing the art of repair, we can create a more mindful and sustainable approach to fashion, one stitch at a time.
