Books like Make and mend by Jessica Marquez


Make and Mend introduces sashiko, a hand‑sewing method that uses a running stitch to form pleasing geometric patterns without the need for special equipment beyond a needle and thread. Traditionally employed to mend and repair clothing and textiles, sashiko also lends itself to creating striking decorative items. The book offers fifteen contemporary projects that blend this ancient craft with a modern, on‑trend aesthetic. From repairing torn jeans and mending ripped hems to crafting decorative pillows, napkins, a tablecloth, and a tote bag, readers learn how to apply sashiko stitching to a variety of everyday items.
