Mending Clothes
A Guide To Upcycle and Repair Your Clothes Using Hand Stitching and Mending TechniquesWhen last did you hemmed a pair of bad jeans, darned a sock, or patched a garment? Most of our forefathers were adept at repairing, mending, stitching, and reworking their clothes to extend their life span. The ability to mend clothes can provide you with personal, environmental, financial, and systemic benefits. Even more, it's accessible - anybody can learn to mend to some extent.Your clothes, including that expensive outfit that is so precious to you, will ultimately exhibit symptoms of wear and tear, no matter much you care for them. Why not attempt mending them instead of throwing them away? It may appear daunting of a task to do, but with a few simple guidelines and basic skills, anyone can accomplish it and bring their worn-out clothes back to life. As a child, I wondered how my grandmother sewed and patched some of my torn clothes so much so that they came out very attractive. She would join different fabrics together and sow them over the hole and so many other techniques she used. All these fascinated me, and I hoped to do the same one day. Unfortunately, she passed on before I could learn from her. My love for mending, like my grandmother, forced me to learn the skills involved to gain knowledge of several mending techniques.Most of what I learned over the years has been collated and captured in this book, Mending Clothes.Several learning points are covered in this book, such as: An explanation of the clothe mending process and the importance of mending your old clothes.Basic sewing skills and hand sewing mending stitches (running, slip, whip stitch, etc.) to get you started.Vital tips and tricks before and when mending your clothes.Mending techniques for your clothes such as darning, patching, sashiko, and embroidery.Sample clothe mending projects (such as repairing holes in jeans, shirts, socks, etc. using different methods) with illustrations that will help to sharpen your mending skillsAnd so much more!So, what are you waiting for?Get a copy of this book RIGHT NOW to get started

Most of us go through our days not giving much thought to the intangible treasures we are creating with each passing moment. What are those treasures? Memories! Every day, in our life's journey, we are making memories. Few memories hold more value than the ones made in the presence of children, who will carry the memories of us into their future long after we are gone, and hopefully, will share them with their own children. Memories are treasures because they continue to give joy and comfort for many life spans. As they spend time with their grandchildren, grandparents are acutely aware of this treasure, believing it is a final opportunity to leave a legacy. M矇m矇's Memory Quilt is the loving story of a grandmother and her granddaughter and how they worked to preserve their special memories by stitching a beautiful, flower garden quilt. In the process, they made more memories while forming a lasting bond forever etched in a young woman's heart. We hope you will be inspired to find a way to preserve your own special memories!

Top 12 Nymphs for Trout Streams
Here, Skip Morris, the author of 23 books on fly fishing and tying flies, guides you through 12 great nymph-flies and how to catch trout on them in creeks, streams, and rivers. You get a color photograph of every fly. Skip tells you all about each fly--what it imitates, what it's designed to do, what it does do in the water, and more. Next, he teaches you how to fish each nymph-fly effectively--the best times to fish it, how deep in the water to fish it, deadly methods for fishing it (through illustrations and instructions), and more. He describes these methods plainly, so you can go right out and make them work. He even provides a section that helps you decide which nymph will best fit your specific fishing conditions and helps choose the best method for catching trout on it at that moment. Top 12 Nymphs for Trout Streams, How, When, and Where to Fish Them (2nd Edition) contains about 27,500 words, 26 color photographs showing all the flies and the creatures they imitate (a few of the shots are just to make you smile and sigh-one of a gorgeous cutthroat trout, others of grand fishing scenes on beautiful trout streams). Also included: 26 illustrations (two are really fine-art paintings) that teach you nymph fishing methods, rigs, and knots. Figuring out trout flies is often overwhelming for the new fly fisher and confusing enough even for the old pro. Let Skip guide you through 12 outstanding trout nymphs and how, when, and where to catch fish on them. And enjoy an entertaining read too.
