Notes: "The edition is all handmade overbeaten abaca and overbeaten cotton paper created using the blowout method. The fabric imagery is printed in silkscreen, while the text and sewing diagrams are letterpress printed from photopolymer plates. All text is written by the artist. The instructions for darning (and diagrams) are adapted from vintage sewing manuals. The narrative text, while inspired by conversations with the artist's mother, is also borne from comments and reflections during encounters with other women."--Colophon.

"This book explores the concept of an invisible mend, contrasting the mend of a garment with the attempt to mend a relationship."--Women's Studio Workshop website, viewed January 3, 2017.
