Full description
Repair cloth with care, creativity and intention. Based on part of a four-day residential slow stitching retreat which was held at my creative workshops venue before retiring, this 58-page digital workbook explores visible mending as both a practical skill and a thoughtful creative practice. Combining simple hand repair techniques with a gentle approach to working with cloth, it encourages you to see mending as an act of care rather than something to hide.
Whether you are repairing favourite clothing, strengthening worn textiles or exploring the principles of visible mending for the first time, this workbook offers clear guidance alongside opportunities for reflection and personal creativity.
Inside you will explore:
- Why repair matters
- The history and tradition of mending
- Simple tools, threads and materials
- Understanding wear, damage and fabric life
- Core hand-mending stitches
- Strengthening and reinforcing worn areas
- Visible mending techniques and ideas
- Repair as a creative and meaningful process
- Recording repair stories and textile histories
- Creating mending journals and fabric records
This workbook combines practical instruction with a calm, encouraging approach. There are no strict rules and no expectation of perfection, only an invitation to work slowly and thoughtfully with the fabrics you already own.
Suitable for:
- Slow stitchers
- Visible mending enthusiasts
- Textile artists
- Sustainable makers
- Beginners and experienced stitchers
- Anyone interested in repair, reuse and mindful creativity
Format:
- 58-page PDF workbook
- Digital download
- Please note that this is a digital product - no physical item will be sent.
After purchase you will receive an email with a PDF containing links to download the workbook via WeTransfer or Google Drive.
Please note: This workbook is for personal use and inspiration. Digital files may not be shared, redistributed or resold.
Created from over 40 years of creative workshop experience!
