520    "A guide to the art, history, and politics of visible 
       mending--at once a practical instruction guide for 
       techniques, a statement on the beauty of repairing and 
       reimagining clothes, and a manifesto against fast fashion.
       Part manifesto, part how-to, this book persuasively calls 
       for a new way of thinking and handling clothes, flying in 
       the face of the supposedly life-changing magic of throwing
       them away. Kate Sekules's message is simple: If your 
       sweater gets a hole in it, don't discard it--mend it! 
       Changing the way we dress is easier and cheaper than we 
       think, and with enthusiasm and wit, Sekules shows you how 
       to fix your garments and make your wardrobe more 
       interesting with visible mending techniques, and help save
       the planet (and your soul) in the process. The 
       environmental and human impacts of our clothing consumer 
       habits cannot be overstated. When we continually buy and 
       discard clothes, we are contributing to pollution, 
       exploitation, and the waste of natural resources. Instead,
       we should be buying less and better, swapping, embracing 
       vintage, and of course, mending. Sharp and incredibly 
       timely, Mend! is a push for a slow fashion revolution in 
       which we stop to think critically about what we buy, where
       it comes from, who makes it, and what it is doing to the 
       environment, and is simultaneously a fun, crafty manual 
       that will inspire readers to roll up their (freshly 
       mended) sleeves and get creative, share their designs, and
       form radical creative communities to change closets, lives,
       and the world"--|cProvided by publisher.
