YUTAKA FUJIHARA Mending Matters: Stitch, Patch and Repair Your Favorite Denim & More Book

About this product

Mending Matters is both a practical guide and a thoughtful meditation on the art of repair. Written by textile artist and author Katrina Rodabaugh, this book explores visible mending as a creative, sustainable, and deeply human practice – one that connects craft, clothing, and mindful living.

On a practical level, the book presents more than twenty hands-on projects focused on repairing and extending the life of denim and everyday garments. Using just a handful of accessible techniques – exterior patching, interior patching, slow stitching, darning, and weaving – Rodabaugh demonstrates how repair can be bold, expressive, and modern, while still drawing inspiration from traditional hand-stitching methods.

Beyond technique, Mending Matters invites readers to rethink their relationship with clothing. Through reflective essays accompanying each how-to section, Rodabaugh explores mending as a metaphor for embracing imperfection, cultivating patience, and developing self-reliance. Repair becomes not only a way to care for garments, but also a way to foster confidence, creativity, and a more intentional approach to consumption.

Whether you’re a denim enthusiast, a maker, or someone interested in slowing down fashion habits, Mending Matters offers inspiration to repair rather than replace – and to find beauty, meaning, and individuality in the marks left by wear and time.
