Good info. A little too twee on the presentation side for me, though.
Good basic starter info.
"Raleigh Briggs (Make Your Place) takes us on a mending journey through stocking your supplies, quick fixes, types of knots and stitches (like the classic punk whipstitch!), buttons, mending seams, patching holes, darning holes, hemming, fixing zippers, waterproofing canvas, leather, and nylon, resources, and so much more.

Raleigh's style is simple, playful, friendly, fun, and builds your confidence.

You can do it! "
