Visible Mending Services

Do you have clothing or other textiles that need some love and attention?

I offer visible mending services to patch, darn and/or embroider your clothes and textiles.

LAST DAY FOR DROP-OFF in 2026 WILL BE OCTOBER 10TH, FOR PICK-UP ON 11/7

Mending services are going on pause for the holidays, thanks for your understanding while I focus on holiday markets and magic. I will resume mending again in the new year (which is closer than it sounds) so please check back! Thank you for considering repair!

GENERAL INFO FOR DROP-OFF AND MAIL-IN MENDING

Feel free to look through photos below or at my Instagram feed for inspiration, and I will let you know if it can be applied to your repair. Or if you have no idea at all, that's fine too! I will give suggestions for which mending technique I think is best.

I am happy to discuss options and give quotes free of charge and with no obligation, so please don't hesitate to reach out.

If you choose to go ahead with the mends I offer, payment will be due ahead of time, and turn around time will be 2 weeks.

Please make sure items are clean before handing them off.

TERMS OF SERVICE

Please make sure you fully understand the agreed upon repairs for your garment/textiles; once mending has begun there will be no refunds. If you are unsatisfied with how your mend turns out, we can work together to come up with an appropriate fix.

Please understand that because of the nature of fabric and textiles, once they begin to deteriorate, more worn areas will soon follow. While I cannot be held responsible for the further natural wear and tear of your garments, I am happy to offer my mending services as many times as you would like to continue.

In the unlikely case that I cause damage to your garment/textile, I hold my self responsible to properly fix the issue, at no further cost to you.
