When I am repairing a torn area on a pair of denim jeans, I have two choices – one is to make the mending as invisible as possible with same color thread or patch, OR make it stand out as a decorative element. I mostly choose the latter – As do a lot of people all over the world as you can see from the thousands of posts under the hashtag #visiblemending on most of the social media platforms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here you are making the repair a feature rather than just a fix. The mending stands out on the garment. With these techniques you are not only repairing your jeans but turning it into an expressive and sustainable fashion statement.This type of mending and repair is celebrated in Japanese crafts through concepts like wabi-sabi, where the unique character and story that mending adds to an item are highly appreciated and valued, and Kintsugi (kintsukuroi), or the “golden repair,” where imperfections are welcomed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
