Author Noriko Misumi teaches you her philosophy of mending and reusing items based on the age-old Japanese concepts of mindfulness and wabi-sabi (an appreciation of old and imperfect things). In her book, she shows you how to:
- Repair any kind of fabric that is torn, ripped or stained, whether knitted or woven
- Work with damaged flat or curved surfaces to make them aesthetically pleasing again
- Create repairs that blend in, as well as bold or whimsical visible repairs
- Darn your handmade or expensive gloves, sweaters and socks to make them look great again!
- Discover the joy to be found in working with your hands and the personal artistry within yourself which lies at the heart of this book. While nothing lasts forever, there's pleasure, as well as purpose, in appreciating age and imperfection.
Joyful Mending allows you to surround yourself with the things that truly give you joy, whether they were given to you by a loved one, picked up in your travels or simply have a special place in your heart.

Brexit and Taxes
Thanks to our nation's ill-advised exit from the European Union, we have had to change how we sell to our international customers.
International customers will not be charged UK VAT (20%) on our products. When your parcel arrives in your home country, you will be charged VAT at your local rate (and there may be a handling fee.) This will be determined by the customs form that will be attached to your parcel. Please note, all added taxes and fees are your responsibility to pay.
Sorry, we did not vote for this.
