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.

    Rotten Minerva lays out a new framework for being “spiritual” while existing in this crazy material reality.  
    In it, author Kelli Hastings sets forth her personal ideology of life with the help of movie quotes, scientific references, and citations to religious scriptures - all interspersed with hilarious stories of her own misadventures on the spiritual path. The book is arranged into four sections. In the first section, Love, Kelli lays out her philosophy and invites the reader to undertake their own personal inward quest. In the second section, Practice, she sets forth the practical means and methods for this personal quest. In the third section, Magic, she gets into some of the strange and magical things that can happen (and have happened) during our personal quests. In the last chapter, Freedom, she talks about how to bring about true freedom; which does not come from external circumstances.  
    So be an unruly warrior and embark on your spiritual quest for freedom and authenticity!
