Book about Japanese Running Stitch and Patching Techniques by Harumi Horiuchi

One simple stitch can bring new life to hundreds of your favorite things!

Boro is the Japanese straight stitch used to repair and reinforce fabrics that is the basis for Sashiko. It is a favorite among visible mending enthusiasts because of its simplicity and because it adds an intriguing textural element to favorite garments and home furnishings.

In this book, Sashiko expert Harumi Horiuchi shares her ideas for using Boro to patch holes and tears, reinforce worn areas, and add fresh details to garments. Her approach is simple--the things you love are worth fixing. Rediscover your favorite items by giving them a new look and feel--while also being good to the environment. Her demonstrations and instructions make the process easy and enjoyable.

Here are just a few of the things you'll learn in this book:

  • Discover the pleasure of working with old fabrics and making classic neutrals come alive
  • Be inspired to give old scraps of cloth new purpose, whether patching a well-loved skirt or a pair of jeans
  • Learn to revive a faithful cloth bag, or even something knitted like a favorite pair of worn woollen socks
  • And so much more!

There's no need to stop at reinforcement and repair. Remake an entire garment by artfully patching it here, there and everywhere. The more you patch, the more unique your garment becomes. This book will be just the start of giving new life to hundreds of old things!

Chain breaks easily

Quality is not great and it already broke in less than 4 hrs of wearing it. Loved the idea of honoring my dog that passed and it’s not very durable. Gently tried to take it off and it pulled apart.

BUY BUY BUY!
Color: Stainless Steel: silver 1 paw
i bought this necklace in sliver 2 years ago. has my cats name on it. i wear it everyday for the past 2 years and it has not made me break out or even tarnish. i don’t have to clean it all the time but when i do it’s doesn’t effect it and it’s super cute. the size is perfect and for the price it’s super cheap and last a long time. i always hate ordering on amazon for jewelry bc 9/10 they do tarnish or don’t last or break very easily. i love this necklace so much and means a lot to me. so if ur wanting a long lasting necklace BUY THISSSS!!!!

Classy Ring
Gem Type: Created Turquoise, Ring Size: 9
I just received this ring. It is beautiful. So pleased . The fit is perfect and in my opinion, it looks very expensive. The design is so classy . This is not my birthstone but it is my mother’s. I ordered it to remind me of her. If this is your birthstone , I highly recommend this ring, if not, I still highly recommend this ring. This seller has nice, quality jewelry at a reasonable price I .
