BRING NEW LIFE to old clothes or charity-shop finds and create your SUSTAINABLE WARDROBE.
Learn techniques such as DARNING, EMBROIDERY, NEEDLE-FELTING, APPLIQUÉ and BINDING.
Repairing your old clothes is a brilliant way of adding personality to your wardrobe, is good for the environment and saves money. Perfect for complete beginners, this handbook introduces a variety of mending techniques and shows you how to make unique projects with your new skills.
First, there is a guide to all the tools you'll need, from hand-sewing needles to darning discs and mushrooms. Then, explore different methods of mending, with detailed step-by-step guides, followed by easy projects to put your skills into practice. Learn how to create vibrant patterns with darning , strengthen and embellish with sashiko-style stitching , cover stains with needle-felting and handmade patches, and much more. Throughout, you'll find advice on choosing colours, threads and materials, and how to incorporate a visible mend into the existing style of a garment or use it to give the item a complete refresh.
The 20 beautiful projects include adding needle-felted embellishments to a scarf , repairing a denim jacket with sashiko , patching a hole in fine silk fabric and adding colourful darning to a jumper.
