well worn: visible mending book

I’m a retired librarian. I’m also recovering book buying addict.. So, my collection of visible mending books is carefully curated. I borrow before I buy. I ordered Well Worn after reading the first couple of chapters. I ordered right from Skye, for reasons, but mostly I wanted the darning mushroom. AKA by me as the darning yo-yo . Writing, directions, illustrations, organization are first rate.

I've really enjoyed exploring this book so far and starting my first darning project with the help of the teachings here. (So far I've done two woven techniques on a t-shirt and a pair of old socks.) There's a wealth of information in here for me as a beginner and lots to get practicing with. It feels genuinely exciting to be learning these important methods on my sustainability journey - and getting to be creative with it too! Thanks for this wonderful book!

A beautiful book. I’m ready to give it a go, mending a well worn pile of clothes, that have been saved for years.

Excellent resource. Useful techniques, well illustrated.

I look forward to years of learning from this well-crafted book. Quality paper stock, sketches, photos and great text. It's both an interesting read and reference tool that will guide me on best mending technique needed for each piece I work on plus augment damaged or boring items with fun needlework to extend the useful life of these items. Thank you!
