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\u003cbr\u003erelationship 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\u003cbr\u003eexamines the ways in which mending teaches us new skills, self-reliance, and confidence, all gained from making things with our own hands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe have some fantastic workshops coming up in the winter and new year which explore traditional darning and mending techniques with the lovely Celia Pym.  You can read more about them and see dates \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.loopknittingshop.com\/p\/6756\/Celia-Pym-Mending-Workshop\"\u003ehere \u003c\/a\u003e.  \u003cbr\u003eWorkshops fill up quickly so  please give us a ring if you'd like to be put on a waiting list.","brand":"Search Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39894488678608,"sku":"978-1419729478","price":25.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/9350\/9840\/products\/Mending_20Matters_20at_20Loop_20London-1536831865.jpg?v=1631200153","url":"https:\/\/loopknitting.com\/en-euddp\/products\/mending-matters","provider":"Loop Knitting","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
