Purchase options and add-ons

Filled with inspirational images of Hikaru Noguchi's work, this is the perfect guide for those interested in preserving their garments and fabrics with mending techniques.

The invention of the Darning Brooch allows you to give new life to precious fabric fragments you can't bear to part with by creating accessories that you can keep, gift or wear. Use the fabric and thread you have at home to make these beautiful pieces, each one of which will be unique to you. All the basic darning stitches are included for beginners with step-by-step photographs, so you can mend your clothes and save them from landfill, as well as preserving memories by turning your fragments into mementos. If you prefer not to wear visible mending on your clothes, you can wear them as accessories instead.

No previous sewing experience is necessary and full instructions for creating the brooches is included. This is the only darning book you will ever need.

Product description

Review

Praise for Creative Mending:

"Noguchi provides plentiful examples along the way, and offers several projects to put the techniques to work; readers will learn how to cover up stains on a dress, make damaged hems beautiful, and repair torn denim pockets. Noguchi has a gentle touch that prioritizes fun over perfection, and her appreciation for her craft is motivating: it's important to "feel compassion" for a worn-down item, she writes, and "befriending damage or wear will naturally create a change in your relationship with clothing and objects." Readers looking to get more miles out of their wardrobe should give this a look."--Publishers Weekly

"Detailed technical instructions combine with sentiments about the mindfulness, healing benefits, and personal satisfaction that can be derived from mending. Whether one wants a restorative craft activity or to extend the life of a treasured shirt, this motivational book will have you reaching for your sewing basket and dusting off that darning egg in no time." --Foreword Magazine
