Critical Reviews
"A really solid foundation on sewing." --Utne Reader "Ideal for thrifters, vintage clothes collectors, and anyone into not tossing their clothes because a button pops off or a zipper is stuck. There is something deeply pleasing and satisfy about mending and making clothes last." --Angry Chicken This is pretty much a great gift for anyone who's into sustainability and learning new tricks. It's all very friendly and approachable with both quick fixes and more skilled mending. It's also a cool read and fun to look at. --Pushpin Zines
