Mending and Alterations Made Simple

A Complete Guide to Clothes Repair

This manual provides all the necessary knowledge for anyone who wants to acquire the basic skills for mending, altering and fixing clothes. Anna de Leo explains in easy to under- stand and simple language the most common clothing repairs, like shortening pants, a seam to be redone, darning a hole, shortening the sleeves of a shirt, etc. From learning to do stitches by hand to using the sewing machine, the author guides the reader throughout the process by simple texts and useful photographs proving that mending is easy. The book also includes a glossary of technical terms. With this DIY guide, the reader will be able to alter and mend without the need for a professional tailor. It's a basic manual, but also con- tains more complicated fixes that people with more advanced skills can tackle.
