Description

Are you tired of wearing clothes that fall apart after one wash? Or struggling to find second hand clothing that fits? Then Annie Philips has the solution as not only is mending and altering a better option for our environment, but you’ll also be saving a pretty penny in the long run.

The ability to sew is crucial in creating a more sustainable and circular fashion industry that prioritises the planet and its resources. The Sewing Fix will teach you how to create a more eco-friendly wardrobe, through expert advice and practical projects, on ways to repair and repurpose old clothes instead of purchasing new ones, reducing your reliance on fast fashion and the amount of textile waste that ends up in landfills.

Offering a modern approach to sustainable sewing for the home dressmaker and fashion lovers, this book tackles the three core repair techniques, including mending, upcycling and clever ways to use up fabric scraps. Then put your skills to the test through the 15 projects that will help you to create a long-lasting wardrobe.

The Sewing Fix will help you to discover how you can help promote a slower and more intentional approach to fashion.
