This gently encouraging instruction and inspiration manual teaches more than how to repair damaged items. Misumi's approach is less about the ""make it do"" utility of mending (though she includes ample, clearly illustrated, simply explained techniques and examples) than it is about appreciating and preserving meaningful textiles: heirloom pieces still in use, high-quality natural fabrics, beloved garments, or utilitarian items with small flaws. Introductory pages bring to mind Marie Kondo's ""spark joy"" philosophy, but Misumi clearly delights in the happy clutter of life as she retains bits of colorful thread, lovely scraps of lace, or even the softest cotton T-shirts for future repurposing. Samples demonstrate how sturdy mends transform pieces, sometimes boldly drawing attention, often adding cheerful color, and occasionally creating an unobtrusive fix. The appended stitch instructions may be less useful than YouTube videos, but the book on the whole is a must-have for those looking to shrink their ecological footprint with beauty and warmth.
