    Product detailed description

    The Art of Repair - Molly Martin

    Caring for worn items and repairing them brings practical self-sufficiency as well as a mindful slowing down in everyday life. Hand repair restores functionality to damaged textiles while also giving them a distinctive character through visible stitches and patches. The book The Art of Repair is both a personal guide and a practical manual for repairing clothes by hand. The author explores the significance of repairs throughout history and today, and describes in detail basic stitches, reinforcing worn areas, darning socks, and strengthening textiles using the traditional Japanese Sashiko embroidery technique. The text is accompanied by the author's own drawings and watercolor illustrations, which clearly demonstrate each individual process.

    About the author

    Molly Martin is a British illustrator and textile artist based in London. Her work focuses on sustainable fashion, a mindful lifestyle, and traditional textile techniques, with an emphasis on visible mending and the restoration of worn garments.

    What you will find in the book

    The book combines reflections on the value of handwork with practical instructions for maintaining and repairing textiles. The chapters cover basic sewing equipment, darning using a wooden mushroom, mending holes, applying patches, and Japanese Sashiko stitching. All the techniques are illustrated with original artwork and accompanied by practical notes on choosing threads and needles.

    Why we chose it 

    We feel a strong affinity with an approach that gives things a long life and takes care of them instead of throwing them away. The Art of Repair offers a matter-of-fact perspective on hand repairs and patches, keeping alive clothing-care techniques that were once much more common. For quick and creative repairs, you could also use the traditional Darn Box or the compact Repair Kit by Merchant & Mills.
