Mending Life — A Modern Guide to Sewing, Sashiko & Sustainable Living

$25.00 USD

Mending Life is a heartfelt, beautifully illustrated sewing and sustainability guide that inspires readers to repair, rather than discard, their clothes. Now in paperback, this book combines step-by-step tutorials with warm reflections from authors Nina and Sonya Montenegro (@TheFarWoods) on embracing a slower, more intentional lifestyle. Learn basic hand-stitching skills, visible mending, and the art of sashiko, a striking Japanese technique that combines function and beauty. With 224 pages of full-color illustrations, this accessible guide invites beginners and seasoned crafters alike to see mending as a meaningful act of care—for clothing, the planet, and ourselves.
