Now you can cherish all your garments, even those in the furthest corner of your closet! This sewing book for beginners will help you master the skills to repair a seam and mend a hem, even if you’ve never touched a needle and thread before!

Enjoy Your Clothes for Longer

It addresses the way mending is great for fashion sustainability and gives you the low down on "fast fashion". From polluting ecosystems and breeding unsafe work environments, discover the huge human and environmental impacts those irresistibly cheap t-shirts have.

About the Author

Zoe Edwards is a sewing and dressmaking teacher who has been blogging about her sewing journey for over a decade. Her passions for sewing, reusing materials and debunking fast fashion form part of her attempts to live a more sustainable and authentic life. She also aims to inspire and assist others in making their own clothing, with the firm belief that enjoying sewing needn't break the bank. She’s the creator of the popular annual challenge Me-Made-May, which asks those who make their own clothing to wear it more often, or in different ways, during the month of May. The aim is to encourage people to bring the DIY and handmade ethos more firmly into their everyday lives, and to develop a better relationship with their handmade wardrobe.
