Synopsis

Noriko Misumi guides readers through approaches to repairing and reusing textiles, with an emphasis on finding value in age and imperfection. Techniques cover mending torn, ripped or stained fabrics, whether knitted or woven, and working with damaged flat or curved surfaces to restore their appearance.

The book also explores repairs that are designed to disappear as well as visible mends that are bold or whimsical, including darning for gloves, jumpers and socks. With 176 colour illustrations, it invites a mindful, hands-on practice that helps you keep and appreciate items that matter to you, from well-loved essentials to pieces with personal significance.
