Collection: Mending Transfers

Visible mending is a shared tradition across many cultures. From Japanese sashiko to Indian kantha, Korean jogakbo, European darning, Malian bògòlanfini, Navajo reweaving, Appalachian patchwork to Polynesian tapa cloth repair, these techniques celebrate the artistry and care of repair. At Approved Textiles, we honor these traditions through modern, sustainable methods that allow you to mend your clothes and textiles with pride, creativity, and intention.

Our mending transfers give you the tools to practice visible mending on your favorite fabrics, breathing new life into garments while reducing waste. Each design is printed on eco-friendly materials and can be easily stitched into your clothing to create a one-of-a-kind look that reflects your unique style. By embracing the art of visible mending, we empower you to repair, personalize, and make your wardrobe more sustainable—all while celebrating cultural practices that have stood the test of time.
