Make Thrift Mend: Stitch, Patch, Darn, Plant-Dye & Love Your Wardrobe | Katrina Rodabaugh

Make Thrift Mend is an invitation to slow down, care for the clothing we already own, and rediscover the satisfaction of repairing and making by hand. Artist and author Katrina Rodabaugh shares approachable techniques for mending, patching, darning, altering, and naturally dyeing well-loved garments. Part practical guide and part exploration of a more thoughtful relationship with clothing, the book offers projects and techniques for extending the life of a wardrobe while making each piece more personal along the way. Visible stitches, patches, natural color, and thoughtful alterations become opportunities for creativity rather than simply repairs. With an emphasis on handwork, resourcefulness, and using what we already have, this is a wonderful guide for both experienced stitchers and those picking up a needle and thread for the first time.
