In her book Darning Socks author Hikaru Noguchi demonstrates her innovative new technique to make the mends on your socks last even longer.
It contains a collection of ideas and full step-by-step instructions for applying visible mending to socks to keep them in use and keeping them out of landfill. 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.
Hikaru Noguchi is a leading designer and creators of darned fabrics and has spear-headed the recent revival in darning. She moved to the UK from Japan in 1989 to study constructed textiles and, after completing her studies at Middlesex University, she developed new and innovative textiles with designers including Tom Dixon, Top Shop and projects for Barneys, Browns, Paul Smith Women, Takashimaya New York and many others.
