The Art of Repair by Molly Martin

$35.00
Minus Plus

In The Art of Repair, Molly explores the humble origins of repair and how the act of mending a cherished item carefully by hand offers not just a practical solution but nourishment for the soul.

Using her own beautiful illustrations, she guides us through the basics of the craft - from piecing and patching tp the ancient Japanese art of Sashiko.

This book will stay with you long after you put down your needle and thread. It offers an antidote to our increasingly disposable lifestyle, encouraging us to reconnect not just with the everyday objects in our environment but also with ourselves.
