Her tips and advice will be applicable to other injured garments.

For thousands of years, mending was a deep craft that has for too long been a secret history. But now it’s back, bigger and better than ever. Kate shows mending tips and tricks and how the art of visible mending is part of an important contemporary movement to give fashion back its soul. She shares her passion for refashioning and refreshing clothes with fun facts and tips.
