Joyful Mending by Noriko Misumi shows how tears, stains and worn spots can become thoughtful details rather than reasons to discard a favourite item. Explore sewing, darning, felting, crochet, sashiko and other embroidery stitches to repair clothing, linens and household objects. Drawing on Japanese mindfulness and wabi-sabi, an appreciation of age and imperfection, this book invites you to care for meaningful belongings while discovering the pleasure of working with your hands.
