A hands-on manual and a history and celebration of clothes tending--and its remarkable resurgence as art form, political statement, and path to healing the planet.

For thousands of years, mending was a deep craft that has for too long been a secret history. But now it's back, bigger and better than ever. In this book Kate Sekules introduces the art of visible mending as part of an important movement to give fashion back its soul. Part manifesto, part how-to, MEND calls for bold new ways of keeping clothes and refreshing your style. Crammed with tips, fun facts, ravishing photography, and illustrated tutorials, MEND tells you exactly how to rescue and renew your wardrobe with flair and aplomb--and save money along the way.

Whether you've never owned a needle or are an aspiring professional, MEND gives you clear instruction and witty advice, with over thirty techniques, from classic darning and patching to cheeky new methods invented by Sekules, to help you turn every garment into a unique fashion statement. Including interviews with menders, shameful fashion industry facts, a ten-step closet mend, cheat sheets, stitch guides, moth elimination, museum conservator and vintage dealer tricks, and more, this is a book to inspire, delight, and galvanize. Sharp, funny, and incredibly timely, MEND leads the slow fashion revolution into its next phase, where getting dressed is a joyful, creative experience for all.

Very Handy for Writing and EDC!
It does exactly what I need it to! It fits well on my A5 notebook and has just enough room in the pouch for a small knife, a lighter, a small flashlight, and some pens! It's a perfect edc carry for anyone who likes to have a small notebook on hand! Also the quality is really amazing and I have no doubts that this handy little pouch will last a long time.

Moderately Effective, Not Worth The Price
Doesn't hold much. The hand strap on the back as it's impossible to get it to a point where it may be tight around a large, adult hand. Unsure how well the elastic loops will safely retain pens over time.
