Creative, practical repairs for well-loved things

Noriko Misumi’s guide brings visible mending to clothing and household items, using techniques such as embroidery, patching, darning, felting, stamping, and crochet. The projects address different kinds of damage—from frayed fabric and holes to worn socks and gloves—and include work on both flat and curved surfaces. The book frames repair as a way to keep meaningful possessions in use while reducing the impulse to replace them. Its blend of hands-on craft and reuse makes mending the subject as much as the method.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Crafters interested in embroidery, patching, darning, felting, or crochet.
  • People who want practical ways to repair worn clothing or household items.
  • Those interested in upcycling and extending the life of cherished belongings.

Book overview

Mend, rethink, transform, recreate!

Mending With Love shows you how to apply embroidery, patching, darning, felting, stamping and a little crochet to worn pieces of clothing or household items. Instead of stowing or throwing away damaged pieces that hold happy memories, you can employ these beautiful and sustainable ideas to give them a new life.

With this book, you'll learn how to:
  • Repair knitted and woven fabrics
  • Work with flat and curved surfaces
  • Artfully repair comfy, well-made socks and gloves
  • Make a statement with creative patching
  • Fill in holes with roving using felting techniques
  • Use embroidery to visibly mend frays or damage from the odd cat claw
  • Apply other tips and techniques to torn, worn, or stained favorites

Creative as well as practical, mending is both a source of pleasure and an eco-friendly fashion statement. Instead of buying more stuff with less meaning, this method allows you to hold on to the things that have a special place in your heart.
