Bound: A Memoir of Making & Remaking

In a new home, relationships shift, and ties fray. This is a collection of essays about sewing and knowing who you are. Each chapter in this sewists diary charts the crafting of a different garment. From a lining embroidered with the Cantonese names of her female ancestors to a dressing gown holding the body of a beloved friend, Maddie Ballard navigates love, personal connections, and self-care, drafting her own patterns for ways of living.
