Synopsis

Boro is a Japanese straight stitch used to repair and strengthen fabric, and it forms the basis for sashiko. In this book, Harumi Horiuchi sets out a straightforward approach to visible mending, showing how to patch holes and tears, reinforce worn areas, and introduce new details to clothing.

Alongside demonstrations and step-by-step guidance, she encourages readers to work with older textiles and offcuts, from everyday garments to well-used bags and even knitted items. The emphasis is on practical repair that also refreshes the look and feel of what you already own, with an environmental benefit in mind.
