what is MENDING?
Mending is a sustainable practice that involves fixing something broken or worn out. When it comes to clothing, mending refers to repairing a damaged section of the garment. You can use numerous techniques to mend your clothes, all of which help extend their lifespan and prevent them from ending up in a landfill. Additionally, mending can add a special touch to your favourite pieces, giving them a unique and personalised look.
There are several types of mending techniques that you can use to repair your clothes. Some common methods that we offer include:
1. Visible mending: This form of repair work intentionally leaves the mending visible, creating a unique and artistic touch to the garment.
2. Mending with embroidery: Embroidery threads are used to patch or cover holes and worn clothing areas, adding a decorative element to the repair.
3. Darning: A sewing technique using needle and thread to repair holes or worn areas in fabric or knitting, which is visible and adds character to the garment.
4. Patching: To cover damaged areas, we hand sew a patch onto the garment using embroidery threads, a ready-made sew-on patch, or a simple iron-on patch.
5. Invisible mending: A fabric repair technique that seamlessly re-weaves yarn into the fabric of a garment to patch a hole, repairing virtually undetectable invisibly.
