How to Make a Log Cabin Block with Catherine-Marie Longtin
Celebrate the beauty of repair with this mindful stitching project. How to Patch Perfect guides you through the art of patching—a technique that transforms worn or torn fabric into something both stronger and more beautiful. Rather than hiding imperfections, this approach honours them, allowing your textiles to carry their history proudly while gaining a new lease of life.
Using simple hand-sewing skills, contrasting fabrics, and visible stitches, the method is accessible to beginners while offering endless scope for creative expression. Each patch becomes a quiet statement of care, craft, and sustainability—an act of making that resists disposability and cherishes the cloth we live with every day.
