For Molly Martin, it all started with her favourite socks. When the heels became threadbare, her mother got out her darning mushroom and taught her to reinforce the thinning stitches and bring them back to life. Molly Martin has been stitching and darning ever since.

‘The Art of Repair’, explores the origins of repair and how the act of mending an item carefully by hand offers not just a practical solution but nourishment for the soul. Molly Martin uses her own illustrations, she guides the reader through the basics of the craft from piercing and patching to the ancient Japanese Sashiko.

This book is one to add to your book collection. It offers an antidote to our increasingly disposable lifestyle, encouraging us to reconnect with everyday objects in our environment and also with ourselves.
