Description
Why bother mending your clothes when it's cheaper and easier to just buy something new? In the last decade the “visible mending” movement has taken off, with people using colorful stitches to draw attention to the stains and tears in their clothes. Textile designer and “Visible Mending” author Arounna Khounnoraj, and Kate Sekules, author of “Mend!”, explain what’s sparked this new mending movement. Upcycling expert and crochet designer Emma Friedlander Collins talks about how mending can be an outlet for creativity, and sashiko instructor Atsushi Futatsuya explains how this Japanese mending technique represents much more than just stitches on fabric.
