With fifteen projects applying a modern, on-trend aesthetic to this ancient craft, Make and Mend shows readers how to apply sashiko stitching to a variety of craft projects, such as repairing torn jeans, decorating a shower curtain, mending a ripped hem, and making a simple pet bed, throw pillows, napkins, a tablecloth, and a totebag. Touching on the concepts of beauty in minimalism and resourceful simplicity, as well as a fascination with Japan and Japanese design, this easy and accessible book appeals to both the seasoned maker and total beginner.","brand":"Penguin Random House LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67622820151464,"sku":"9780399579431","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/3053\/4056\/files\/62019effacbb336cf7d80bbf739d021a2a56493d5b8b95d63c6fee8eb4062ad8.jpg?v=1791420558"},{"product_id":"print-pattern-sew","title":"Print, Pattern, Sew","description":"Infuse your everyday style with more color, more pattern, and more personality.
