Creative mending : beautiful darning, patching and stitching techniques / Hikaru Noguchi ; translated from Japanese by Leeyong Soo. - 104 pages : colour illustrations ; 25 cm.

Mend, rethink, transform, recreate! Mending your favorite fabric items-from jeans to sweaters to sofa covers-becomes a true art form in Stylish Mending. In this book, mending guru Hikaru Noguchi shows you her entire range of valuable techniques--from embroidery and patching to darning and felting--that are just challenging enough for experienced menders. Noguchi's basic rules of mending are that the repair should suit the fabric and its user, and that there are lots of creative ways to create beautifully customized repairs-some subtle, others making a statement. She provides thirteen techniques that show you how.
