Review: Mend & Make Fabulous

Mend & Make Fabulous by Denise Wild
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

31 December 2025

The kids these days are perforce a thrifty lot, and they are also creative and eager to take up new manual skills. I am no adept at sewing, and have never been much interested in learning more. My clothes must be functional and comfortable, but I've never cared if my soft t-shirts have holes.
So, while I admire the creativity and skill demonstrated in the Fabulous bits, I shan't be attempting any such upgrades.
But for anyone who has beloved clothes they want to keep using, I can't recommend the Mending sections enough. Having read this book I now at least know what damage I'm looking at and how it needs to be repaired. A great reference to have handy.
