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!
