Mending With Kids - N. Levy - Book
Mending With Kids teaches you how to revive your children's tattered and stained clothes using easy sewing and decorating techniques that encourage their involvement. It offers useful tips and methods for patching, collage (using felt and fabrics), iron-ons, stenciling, darning, embroidery, hand-painting, and more - even providing templates for creating your own patches and stencils! The best part? These techniques are kid-friendly and allow them to add their personal touch to their clothes - which they'll absolutely adore doing! And under your supervision, they'll gain practical skills along the way. This book also offers practical suggestions and advice for clothes-saving ideas such as:
- Adding fabric bands to cover, patch, and extend jeans and pants (kids grow out of them so quickly!)
- Combining patching with embroidery to transform a repair into a design element
- Embroidering around holes to make them seem like part of the original design (like creating a worm hole in an embroidered apple!)

SOLD IN FULL METERS - fabric, elastic, and other products that are cut to measure are available only in full meters for online orders. Its a Shopify thing and as soon as we find an awesome workaround you can count on us to make that magic happen. Want to put in a request for a 0.5 meter cut? Find the form HERE! Due to order volume, 0.5m requests will NOT be processed during online sales.
Buying fabric? Measure twice so that we can cut once! Review your pattern. Check the unit of measure (we go by meters). Add a bit of length to factor in shrinkage during prewashing.
Buying patterns? Pattern size ranges can vary depending on the pattern, designer, and style. Review the pattern closely before purchase and check your own measurements against the pattern specifications. All patterns and printed materials (books, magazines, etc.) are final sale.
Picking colours? RICK RACK does our best to accurately represent all products and colours but colours may appear different between device screens. Please be aware that any cut fabric cannot be returned or exchanged, so if you're not sure about colour drop us a line or send us an email!
