Visible Mending: Patching and Embroidery
Sustainable Stitches Series Sponsored by SulkyVisible mending is a technique used for repairing textiles that highlights the beauty of mending. Instead of trying to hide the repair, we allow fabric and thread to show the history, change, and importance of our beloved garments. In this tutorial, Brenda K.B. Anderson will focus on combining patchwork with running stitches and embroidery, to patch holes and cover stains. Click here to download the free pattern.
Visible mending adds beauty and value to our pieces and is also a vital step toward reducing waste. By continuing to care for our clothing, we are keeping textiles from ending up in a landfill and reducing consumption of new clothing.

Wonderful lesson and excellent teacher!
what is the discount code for the thread? I see 35% off, but no code. Susan
Very disappointed in Craftsy this year. Have wasted too much time in trying to get to a video in an endless loop of sign in so we know you’re not a robot when I’m already signed in. Will NOT be renewing my membership.
Good morning from Tucson, AZ
I tried to post a perfectly clean and innocent comment, but was censored even after I revised the wording. Not sure of the offense.
