Today we get to give a book away to a lucky C.R.A.F.T. reader!
It’s an awesome book with lots of great information… but, my favorite page is still page 65
Yep, there’s my name (and Andy’s jeans!)… I still can’t believe it!
Have you ever wondered about the evolution of sewing, what the heck darning is, or possibly, the proper way to secure a thread? This book has answers baby! I guarantee that all crafters would enjoy this gem of a book.
I love this quote from the Mend it Better website, “A rip isn’t the end, it’s the beginning!”

My favorite pair of shorts has a hole in a rather unfortunate spot, and I'd love ideas as to how to fix it. redherring at gmail.

My own pair of jeans could use some work
My husband is hard on his jeans and the idea you gave is just up my alley.

Hi, I very much remember the review, i loved the book so much that i pinned it on my craft board in pinterest so i could keep an eye out for it.
I have to mend a cuff on my daughters school jersey 
Is it an international giveaway?
Little boy jeans – the 2 year old hid behind the couch with a pair of contraband scissors and went to town the other day. At least his chubby legs went unscathed. They'd be the first thing to be fixed! Thanks!

my husband does not like change. and he doesn't like new clothes. needless to say, i am always confronted with "projects". From t-shirts, to shorts, to backpacks, to shoes?! haha, i could definetly find use for this book. what a lovely giveaway, thank you!

actually i don't understand the word ' mending ' ( english is not my language ) so I am very curieus about it and i'm sure the book will explain it to me
I would probably mend some jeans that have been sitting in the to-do pile for months.

Well, it's about time I do what I promised 3 years ago, and mend my BF favorite pants, isn't it? today is the first day of spring and these are made of a light cotton fabric so hopefully he'll have them back for the summer… Thanks for reminding me (and I'm sure he'll be thanking you as well!).
My friend just gave me 2 pairs of her son's pants to mend. I also need to mend a hole in my sweater and multiple shirts. My patch jobs are functional but could use a little finesse. myriadofpossibilities (at) gmail (dot) com
My husband's overalls always need mending. I make him wait until there are several things to patch.
Some of the kid's jeans probably, may even try your idea!
Hopefully I'll be able to mend my jeans.
What a cute and SMART book!
Hope I can join too. After all, I just live right around the corner! Of Earth. ; )
Love your blog!

I have a pair of jeans that fit my daughter fantastically (no easy thing) and both knees need to be fixed in some way so I would love this book to give me some ideas and helpful hints to make them look neat and respectable.

I'd love to win, I can use a little advice as far as sewing goes… jakenkait28(at)gmail(dot)com
I am always conflicted about whether to mend or throw away holey socks. Mom used to darn them, but I don't know how. [email protected]
I know just the shirt — I bought a work shirt at a consignment store and then hastily ripped the price tag off, creating a rip in the cotton under the arm… I couldn't part with the shirt. Maybe this book will give me different ways to save it!!
The first thing I will mend will be my fav sweatshirt with the holes in it
its already patchy so It should look fine!
I would like to give second life to my favorite house dress that needs some patching. I take pride in mending still usable clothing and enjoy the savings that comes with it. [email protected]
^^ I will mend many of my jeans!
Thanks for this opportunity <3

I would mend all of my daughter's jeans!!! She is almost 5 and loves playing outside hence the need to mend her jeans!!

So many clothes to mend. Honestly though, I think I would use the book toward taking up my hubby's old clothes, he lost 70 lbs and replacing a whole wardrobe is pretty rough. In the mean time, repairing and down sizing a few would be awesome. Getting rid of some of the tears would work wonders!
My boys are always getting holes in their pants. I make monster patches but some new ideas would be fun.
