I've recently found an antique store with lots of excellent vintage furniture and clothing. To truly "buy it for life", I want to learn how to repair/maintain: basic appliances, wood furniture, mend/repair clothing, keep my shoes looking nice, and how to take care of these purchases. Basically a guidebook in how to take care of things if that makes sense. I'm not looking into plumbing and general home care yet, more taking care of smaller household objects (that's a future project I'll deal with).
Is there a book that covers this? The dream would be one book that goes over the basics, but I am okay with having to buy several to build a collection! I already own Bernadette Banner's Make, Sew, and Mend, but I am looking for more suggestions!
Thanks!
