Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Stop hiding the holes. Stitch them into something worth showing off.

Every worn knee, moth hole, and frayed elbow is a chance to make a garment more beautiful than it was before. Visible Mending shows you how - with sashiko, the Japanese running-stitch tradition that turns plain repairs into striking geometric art. One simple stitch. That's all it takes.

Inside this step-by-step guide:

- 5 core repair techniques - woven darning, Swiss darning, sashiko reinforcement, patching, and needle felting, each broken into four illustrated steps- 50 sashiko stitch charts - rated Easy, Medium, and Advanced, each with a build-up sequence, full grid chart, close-up, and a preview of the finished stitching- 10 woven darning patterns - from a simple two-tone weave to gingham, tartan, and tweed checks- Complete beginner basics - how to thread the needle, start without a knot, keep every stitch even, and finish clean- Blank planning grids, thread and color tips, and a full pattern index

Perfect for: beginners who have never held a needle, menders and slow-fashion lovers, and anyone who wants their favorite clothes to last - and look better for it.

No experience needed. No expensive tools. Just a needle, thread, and a hole worth celebrating.
