by Katrina Rodabaugh (Author)
In Make Thrift Mend, slow fashion influencer Katrina Rodabaugh, bestselling author of Mending Matters, teaches readers how to mend, patch, dye, and alter clothing for an environmentally conscious, reimagined wardrobe.
In an era of disposable clothing, Make Thrift Mend offers a transformative alternative. Katrina Rodabaugh presents a holistic 3-step strategy to transition away from fast fashion: Make (creating new pieces with intention), Thrift (curating a second-hand wardrobe), and Mend (honoring and repairing what we already own).
This guide is packed with clear color photographs and instructions, featuring step-by-step tutorials on visible mending and sashiko-inspired stitching. It goes further than her previous work by introducing the world of natural dyes. Rodabaugh demonstrates how to use kitchen scraps and foraged plants to refresh stained or faded garments, giving them a second life.
More than a craft book, it is a manifesto for intentional living. It includes "closet-cleansing" exercises to help readers define their personal style and reduce consumption. By focusing on the beauty of the well-worn and the hand-repaired, Rodabaugh proves that a sustainable wardrobe is not just an environmental necessity, but a deeply rewarding creative practice.
