Erin Lewis-Fitzgerald is Australia’s leading clothes-mending practitioner. Her mending has been displayed in art exhibitions in Melbourne and Adelaide and she teaches workshops online to menders around the world. Erin began her career in journalism at 15 and over two decades worked as an editor, sub-editor, writer, and photographer.

After leaving journalism she founded Bright Sparks, a social enterprise that repaired and reused electrical appliances to keep them out of landfill.

I found this book by chance when I was searching online for books about mending (which is my jam - I'm a professional mender). It's all about mending things, mending broken hearts and community. Sweet without being too 'let's teach kids a lesson and ...more
