docVisibly Mending My Blackbird Raum Shirt
One of my favorite t-shirts had some holes in it, so I finally took some time to repair it. I’ve long been a fan of r/VisibleMending on Reddit, but didn’t know how to go about doing a visible mending project myself. I asked around and ChurchHatesTucker had a great suggestion to use a buttonhole stitch and some high contrast embroidery thread:
That was great advice and I love how it turned out:
Visible mending is very similar to Kintsugi, in that the idea is to treat repairs as part of the history of a loved object, rather than tying to hide those repairs.
