This is the second episode in our 4 part series on Mending Life: A Handbook for Repairing Clothes and Hearts by Nina and Sonya Montenegro.
What we chat about in this episode:
How to see the beauty in imperfection
Why we love visible mending (show it off, don’t hide it!)
How everything is fixable (even down jackets!)
How clothing tells our life story.
The art and poetry of old clothing.
And so much more!
Cool things we reference:
📕Wabi Sabi: The Wisdom in Imperfection by Nobuo Suzuki
📕Wabi Sabi - Japanese Wisdom for a Perfectly Imperfectly Life
🎥 Becoming Matisse documentary
Actions we are inspired to take:
Katherine: To stop putting off mending projects that seem too difficult - specifically to fix my old rain jacket.
Manon: To add a yellow patch to my grandma’s old blanket that I am mending.
Thank you for listening today! We really appreciate you being here with us. Next time, we will be deep diving into a quote from the book Mending Life: A Handbook for Repairing Clothes and Hearts by Nina and Sonya Montenegro. We hope you have a wonderful week with many moments to Slow Read.
À bientôt! (See you soon!)
💚 Katherine and Manon
