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!

read the fine print
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
I really need to learn to read the small print. That pocket line on the chest turned out to be a fake pocket and the actual; zipper on the sleeve is also a fake pocket; my bad but in my defense I'd never dreamed that anyone would put either on a shirt. Also my search term was men's "cotton shirt w/ pocket shirt" and it brought up this polyester wonder. But at least it fits well and seems well made.

High‑style look that feels way more expensive than it is.
Size: X-Large, Color: Orange
Okay, let’s talk about this shirt because I was not expecting to love it as much as I do. The Men’s Long Sleeve Polo Shirt with the quarter‑zip is giving premium designer energy without the designer price tag. From the moment I put it on, the fit was chef’s kiss—slim, clean, and athletic without feeling tight. The fabric has that smooth, high‑end feel you usually only get from brands that make your wallet cry. But here? You’re getting elevated style at a totally reasonable price.

Magnificent fabric
Color: Pink, Size: Medium, Color: Pink, Size: Medium
A beautiful sweater—exactly like the one in the photo. The fabric is stretchy and of very good quality; it is perfect for a casual occasion where you also want to look practical. It pairs very well with shorts.
