Make and Mend

Make and Mend by Jessica Marquez – All you need is a needle and thread! Make and Mend introduces the technique of sashiko–a very simple hand-sewing method using only a running stitch. Sashiko was traditionally used to mend and repair clothing and textiles, but it can also be used to create decorative projects for the home. Including fifteen projects applying a modern, on-trend aesthetic to this ancient craft, Make and Mend shows readers how to apply sashiko stitching to a variety of craft projects, such as repairing torn jeans, mending a ripped hem, and making decorative pillows, napkins, a tablecloth, and a totebag.
