When Katrina Rodabaugh gave up 'convenience in fashion,' she began what she calls 'a relationship with commitment instead.' Circularity, invention, the impulse to create, traditional craft, and modern handwork fuel Katrina's inspiring new book, Make Thrift Mend , indeed., Katrina provides the inspiration, the motivation, and the techniques to put daydreams into practice, whether you want to DIY it or ask a professional to do it for you, and the more you delve into her universe, the more you are compelled to do as she does., Katrina's philosophy is masterfully distilled in Make Thrift Mend . She has a gift for making sustainable living into a spiritual practice, while at the same time grounding it in accessible practices. Treading lightly upon the earth does not require a hefty paycheck; anyone can learn how to clothe themselves in alignment with their values with the skills taught in these pages., Staff Pick: Powell's "A slow fashion book for the thoughtful fashionista. Rodabaugh states: 'Start where you are. Start by looking at the clothes you already own before shopping for new. Can they be mended or remodeled rather than replaced?' This isn't just another closet advice book. Rodabaugh gives us inspiring ideas for rejuvenating our old togs into treasures to be proud of. I was a fan of her first book, Mending Matters , and I'm just as excited about Make Thrift Mend. Recommended by Tracey T.
