"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, "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." l Publishers Weekly, "A unique and exceptionally impressive instructional guide and how-to manual, Creative Mending: Beautiful Darning, Patching and Stitching Techniques is thoroughly needlecrafter-friendly in presentation. An inspiring compendium of ideas and DIY possibilities for even the most novice of needlecrafters, Creative Mending is an especially recommended addition to personal, professional, and community library Needlecraft and Fashion collections."-- Midwest Book Review, "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.

Synopsis
Mend, rethink, transform, recreate! Mending your favorite fabric items--from jeans to sweaters to sofa covers--becomes a true art form in Creative 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 13 techniques that show you how to: Apply creative repairs to both knitted and woven fabrics Use yarn, floss, ribbon, and fabric to reinvent well-loved garments Make understated repairs that add just a touch of contrast, color, or texture Use visible mending techniques for bold repairs Darn with felt to add body and dimension to a repaired item Match your repairs to the damage, the fabric, and the wearer Maneuver through tricky places like inseams and underarms And more! The 13 illustrated lessons and over 300 color photos in this book provide detailed examples for all the basic techniques. Lots of variations plus plenty of tips and examples (67 in all) provide you with all the guidance you need to rethink and repair beautifully. The stunning photos will inspire you to get creative on that fraying neckline or worn elbow!

    The book I bought was reasonably priced and when it arrived it was in the 'Like New' condition specified in the listing. However, when I saw that the seller had not shipped the book after more than 15 days had passed since my order I felt I must write to say that I had actually placed an order with the seller and inquire when it planned to send the book. The brusque reply was that a tracking number was available, but no number HAD been created until I pointed out that I had placed the order.
