What if mending could be beautiful?
Beyond Darning by Hikaru Noguchi transforms the humble darn into something extraordinary. Translated from the Japanese Darning Brooches, this stunning book reimagines repair as a creative practice — turning worn patches into works of art.
Whether you're picking up a needle for the first time or looking for fresh inspiration after years of mending, Hikaru's clear step-by-step instructions and signature aesthetic will guide you from functional fix to something you're genuinely proud of.
Inside you'll find:
- Full step-by-step darning techniques for beginners
- Creative projects for more experienced menders
- Hikaru Noguchi's distinctive Japanese craft sensibility
- Beautiful photography throughout
From the queen of mending — a book to keep, treasure, and return to again and again.
