“Mending Life” is an instructional mending book, interlaced with warm and cozy life stories — it was a wonderful read. I loved how the authors talked about the importance of cherishing the clothes we have, and how mending them brings an immense sense of satisfaction and appreciation for them. The tutorials were easy to understand, and as a sewing newbie, I feel confident enough in trying out all the different kinds of stitches and techniques shown. As silly as it sounds, this book almost has me looking forward to seeing small tears in clothes as an excuse to try out a new hobby and skill I’m excited about.
Three words that describe this book: Informative, cozy, and comforting
