In past generations this information

would have been passed down each generation.

Unfortunately this isn't the case anymore.

I never learnt any sewing and mending skills

from my mother.

Previously most of us would use and throw away.

We wouldn't even think of mending something.

Now however we have realized

it's better to mend it and use things more.

In previous years I was almost scared

of sewing.

Now I am realizing there is nothing

difficult or scary about sewing.

This book is brilliant.

It takes it from scratch and teaches

you all the basics.

The pictures are extremely clear

and easy to follow.

It takes you through everything from

threading a needle to making a knot.

The book has fantastic tips that make

everything super easy.

Sewing straight has always been my issue

but with the useful tip in this book

this won't be the case anymore.

The book is broken down into sections:

• Buttons and other closures
• Seams
• Hems
• Fix & Repair.

There is just so much information in this book.

It's the kind of book that you keep in the

house and use time and time again.

No matter your level if you want

to learn how to mend and repair

different things then this is really a brilliant book.

This book is like having your mum or gran

showing what to do.

I have already used this book a number of times.

My sons trousers needed their 

hems moving

and I had to repair a split seam.

This book gave me the confidence to tackle them.

A brilliant book that really does show you everything

step-by-step.
