If you appreciate sewing and sustainability, this book will teach you how to bring both together, and along the way, create something stylish and new. We all know that feeling when our favorite pair of jeans finally wears out: whether in the knees, the crotch, or elsewhere, that last tear that means you can't wear them anymore is always a bummer. But fear not!
Author Hikaru Noguchi is here to teach you how to go about patching your clothes right back up in a way that both looks amazing and will hold your clothes together well into the future. Use embroidery, patching, darning, and felting, and a whole range of materials, from yarn, to ribbon, to dental floss, to best suit whatever clothing you're working on, and proudly wear your new creation for years to come.
Due to its age and history, vintage clothing may show signs of wear. We think that's part of the charm, but we'll always mention any noticeable flaws in the description.
Excellent: Pristine and appears to have very little wear
Great: Minor signs or wear but no major flaws
Good: Minor stains or flaws, fabric & seams may be weak over time & use but still very wearable
Fair: Wearable but has obvious flaws
