New! Another excellent book on darning by Japan's visible mending guru, Hikaru Noguchi. This most delightful and useful manual celebrates the humble sock with 39 inspiring examples of visible mending.

Darning Socks contains a collection of ideas and full step-by-step instructions for applying visible mending to socks, making them stay in use and keeping them out of landfill.

This beautiful new book is translated from the Japanese book by Hikaru Noguchi and offers her usual high level of beautiful photography and inspirational ideas. Hikaru has invented a novel way to make the mends on your socks last even longer, saving you time and energy.

No previous sewing experience is necessary and full instructions are included, from the easy way to thread a needle and choosing the right thread, to the inspirational use of colour and innovative materials for the experienced sewer.

Praise for Hikaru's previous books:

"The pictures, diagrams and profiles are so inspiring. Mending clothes is an act of looking after yourself and others. Its essential work that Hikaru does with grace and beauty."
- Celia Pym, shortlisted for the Womens Hour Craft Prize, author of On Mending

"As the environmental impacts of overconsumption become ever more apparent, repair emerges as a powerful political act. This comprehensive compendium provides both instruction and inspiration and is sure to make every reader look at their wardrobe in a whole new light."
- Dr Amy Twigger Holroyd, Associate Professor of Fashion and Sustainability, Nottingham Trent University

"Colourful photography combined with an easily understood visual guide brings this wonderful book to life!"
- Sanae Kido: Textile Surgery

"Hikaru Noguchi has a wonderful and considered approach to visible mending. In her book Darning she explains in great detail how to use a variety of darning and applique techniques, what materials are suitable, and step-by-step instructions. Last but not least, all techniques are accompanied by beautiful pictures for plenty of inspiration to do your own repairs."
- Tom van Deijnen (Tom of Holland)

My Teenage Daughter Called Me Trendy!
Size: Medium, Color: Blue, Size: Medium, Color: Blue
My teenage daughter called me trendy! I’ll go with it!!! I feel confident and trendy wearing this pair of jeans. How could I not?!!! A cute drawstring weaved through the gourmet waist adds to the comfy causal style. The barrel legs have a small distressing on the legs. Darker faux patches added to the lighter wash jeans give a Friday vibe any day of the week. I love the functional large front and back pockets my phone and keys fit comfortably in my front pockets. I so happy with the quality and price of this pair of jeans! I highly recommend them!! I have worn the jeans to a few different events and always get asked where I got my jeans! Love them and you will too!

Id still wear a bit to stretch them to my shape as a good day old pair of jeans fits. they're very cute and i love them. im not willing to go up a size lol cuz the tightness is all on me:)

Cute but runs small
Size: Large, Color: Blue
I’m usually a large, but these pants were tight around my the hip/ bum area. And not as barrel as the picture showed. I’m 5’2” and the length was perfect. The drawstring serves zero purpose, just for looks. The color and patch work of the pants are so cute too. I will be exchanging for a size up so hopefully that helps

Get lots of compliments.
Size: X-Large, Color: Blue
These are awesome! I get lots of compliments. I took out the string/rope belt and just wear a regular belt because the rivets look cheap but it works.
