Review

Renovate, renew, revive and restore the pieces you already own. Look for the potential in things - a lick of paint on a chest of drawers, a new top for a side table, a loose cover for an old armchair - and you'll fall back in love in no time. --YOU magazine

Mend it! The Green Party's Sian Berry, has just written a book detailing 400 easy home repairs that take some of the mystery out of home maintenance. --The Observer Magazine

Get to grips with simple repair jobs with Mend it! It shows you how to change a fuse, rewire a plug and more! --She

Product Description

In today's throwaway culture, it can often seem easier to ditch a broken item rather than attempt to repair it. But this also seems like madness at a time when we're all trying to be thrifty, and at the same time reduce the amount of rubbish we contribute to landfill. In this timely new book, Sian Berry sets out to prove that your much-loved table with the wonky leg, wobbly earring or dodgy door handle can be given a new lease of life with a bit of common sense and know-how. With chapters covering furniture, kitchenware, electrical goods, textiles and jewellery, Sian guides you through 400 repair projects, each accompanied by step-by-step illustrations and simple instructions. Even the most DIY-shy person will find this book a revelation.

We got this book as a Christmas gift and it is jam packed with useful tips and fixes.
Everything from how to darn a sock or mend a rip in clothing - to how to recover chairs, fix cracks and mend mirror frames!
I am not very DIY minded - but this book is so reader (and idiot) friendly - step by step instructions and pictures for even the least practical person.
I'm giving it 5* after reading it through - will update my review when I've 'Mended It!'
