Using darning, patching, stitching and embroidery techniques to transform garments. The practice of visible mending, which emphasises rather than hides the repair, adds creativity to the clothing’s sustainability. The visible mending trend has its history in the ancient Japanese tradition of sashiko, stitching geometric patterns into fabric in order to strengthen it.
We can also show you Kreinik which uses silver or gold thread to highlight the repair.
