Synopsis

Feel the benefits of sewing by hand for your wellbeing and for the planet, with these mindful and sustainable makes.

Hand sewing is a great way to practise mindfulness through craft. Laura Strutt has designed these 35 projects specially to develop your hand-sewing skills, but also to help you slow down, enjoy the moment, and appreciate the rewards of your work. Using a number of different techniques including visible mending, sashiko, embroidery, thread doodling, boro and abstract embroidery, Laura shows you how to incorporate these methods into making something useful, creative and sustainable. For the home, you can make a boro bowl from scraps of fabric, or adorn a simple cushion cover with an embroidered mandala. From your wardrobe, revive a beanie hat by adding some floral embroidery to the rim, or use sashiko stitching on fabric-covered buttons for a new look. Decorate your home with a floating embroidery design in a hoop, or a simple banner using colourful couching stitches over twisted rope. Think of the planet as you upcycle a blouse with detail stitching and new sleeve trim, or make elbow patches to cover the holes in your favourite sweater. Whichever project you choose, take time to enjoy the process and simply sew.

    God Is in the Details (and So Is Thomas Aquinas): How to Weaponize Aristotle for the Church and Still Be Canonized 
    Ever wanted to read 3,000 pages of systematic theology written by a man who thought angel transportation was a valid academic subject? No? Great—this book is for you. 
    This is not a polite introduction to Thomas Aquinas. This is a fully sarcastic, gloriously disrespectful roast of the chubbiest, holiest overachiever in Catholic history—a Dominican friar who took Aristotle’s metaphysics, added Latin, guilt, and divine purpose, and built the intellectual operating system of the Catholic Church. 
    Inside, you’ll find: 
    A breakdown of Aquinas’ Five Ways to Prove God Exists (spoiler: it's always God) 
    An introduction to natural law, also known as “why everything you enjoy is probably a sin” 
    His obsession with angel hierarchies, because theology needed a Pokémon-style ranking system 
    The Summa Theologica, or what happens when you try to explain God using spreadsheet logic and footnote warfare 
    Why Aquinas is still being cited in modern debates about abortion, bioethics, transubstantiation, and leggings 
    From his flaming-stick celibacy defense to the fact that he nearly out-argued Augustine with a smile, Aquinas is the blueprint for theological overachievement—and this book is the spiritual field guide you didn’t know you needed. 
    Perfect for: 
    Recovering theology majors 
    Catholic guilt survivors 
    Philosophy nerds who love a good roast 
    Anyone trying to understand how Aquinas still dominates moral debates despite being very, very dead 
    Come for the metaphysics, stay for the footnote-based moral mic drops. 
    Thomas Aquinas: he came, he theologized, he canonized himself through sheer force of logic.
