About this listen
In a new home, relationships shift, and ties fray. Bound: A Memoir of Making and Remaking is a collection of essays about sewing and knowing who you are.
Each chapter in this sewist's 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.
Lyrical, probing, soothing and wise, Bound is a strikingly original debut and a quiet celebration of the remarkable, everyday process of making and re-making: of cloth, of clothing, and of ourselves.

Critic Reviews
"Bound is a gorgeous, tender exploration of the craft of sewing and how we carve out spaces for ourselves. Written with lightness and care, Maddie Ballard traces her journey into textiles and threads, stitching the pieces together and examining how the clothes we wear reflect our relationship with the world around us." (Nina Mingya Powles)
"This is a beautiful memoir about the human relationship to making and mending things, ethical consumption and culture in clothing and fabric. There is nothing I could say that does the prose justice. All I know is that I will visit this book again, wearing it as a warm coat to stay warm every time the world feels too cold to bear it." (Lucy Rose)
"Will make you look with a new eye on what you wear and how it was made." (Tracy Chevalier)
