Anni Albers: Visible Mending Transfers

Each transfer cut-out is 4.25" by 5.5".

How to Use Your Visible Mending Transfers

Prep Your Fabric: Make sure your fabric is clean and dry before starting.

Choose Your Design: Pick one of the four designs from the set.

Apply the Transfer: Place the transfer design with the printed side facing the fabric. Gently press to activate the adhesive.

Stitch: Use a needle and thread to stitch along the design, following the printed lines. Feel free to add your own flair or skip areas you don't like.

Rinse and Reveal: Once your stitching is complete, rinse the fabric to remove the stabilizer. Your design will stay in place, and the stabilizer will wash away!

Anni Albers (1899–1994) reshaped textile design, merging Bauhaus principles with the expressive possibilities of thread. Her work spanned intricate small weavings, bold graphic compositions, and large-scale architectural textiles, all guided by a deep understanding of structure and material. She believed weaving was more than craft—it was a language of form, repetition, and innovation. By translating her designs into mending transfers, Approved Textiles embraces her vision of textiles as both functional and artistic, turning repair into a creative act of rhythm and reinvention.

These mending patterns are a love letter to the artists who move us—not replicas, but stitches inspired by their spirit. We believe their genius extends far beyond the canvas, into the way we see, create, and repair the world around us. While our designs are original interpretations, they wouldn’t exist without the brilliance of Anni Albers and her enduring influence.
