Visible Mending

I provide visible mending and repair services for your cherished clothing, hand made garments, and treasured cloth items. Visible mending doesn’t attempt to hide a garment’s flaws; instead, it celebrates imperfection. Visible mending honors the garment’s history and shows both the trials and it has faced as well as how much it is loved. Using Japanese as well as improvised techniques, I can patch, darn, reinforce, and embellish to fix holes, reinforce weak areas, replace missing fabric, and hide stains. For patches, depending on the project, I use salvaged denim or fabrics made of natural fibers which I dye myself with plants.
