How and why to mend your clothes

SISTER LISTS: Mending Used to Be Normal | Stitch It, Don't Ditch It | Radical Craft History | When Artists Go to Work | What's In Your Analog Bag?

Instructional nonfiction about all types of arts & crafts, creative DIY, games, pastimes, skills, and offline activities in general. For this list I'm favoring comprehensive introductions & broader overviews — you won't find every worthwhile book about (eg) furniture building, hair braiding, or paper airplanes here, but you will find a little taster of each. See what catches your eye!

SISTER LISTS: You Should Start a Zine | Opting Out of Fast Fashion

For the sewers, stitchers, crafters, knitters, embroiderers, etc. (and also those who are curious or interested). Hop right into crafting! Note: Will be including history books as well. Suggestions to add are welcome in the comments!
