"Jessica's wonderful new book is exactly the type of craft
inspiration we need right now. Make + Mend is chock-full of ideas
to make more, buy less, and get more life out of the things we
love. The projects in these pages will ensure you are surrounded by
pieces that have meaningful details and memories for years to
come."
—GRACE BONNEY of Design*Sponge
“In Make + Mend, Jessica demonstrates how easy it can be to
decorate and beautifully repair textiles. She provides techniques
that help create both simple and intricate embellishments. Jessica
shows that rather than replacing things, caring for items can
inspire us to put more love into what we own.”
—NATALIE “ALABAMA” CHANIN, fashion designer
“The traditional folk method of sashiko should enjoy a renaissance
through this book. The current desire for minimalist décor along
with mending and reincarnating cherished, worn textiles makes
sashiko a perfect craft to explore today. Jessica’s thoughtful and
quiet way with embroidery is so well-suited for this traditional
and ancient technique. There’s poetry in every motif, along with a
practical functionality that’s so rarely joined with decorative
needlework.”
—JENNY HART, artist, author, and embroidery designer
