"Mend, rethink, transform, recreate. Repairing your favorite things--from jeans to sweaters--will addict you. Textile guru Hikaru Noguchi takes you through all the forms of mending--referred to in this book as darning--to inspire you to get creative on that fraying neckline or worn elbow. This book shows you techniques for: working on knitted and woven fabrics; mending with yarn, floss, ribbon and fabric; darning with felt to add body and dimension; matching the technique to the wear/tear; and more. Lessons for basic and advanced techniques, with variations, plus plenty of tips and examples, give you all the guidance you need to rethink and repair, beautifully"--Page 4 of cover.
