Sometimes holes happen. Spaghetti stains happen. Let’s face it, life happens. But that doesn’t mean your favourite items should be banished to the back of the closet. It’s time to embrace the beauty of imperfection!
Visible mending is the latest trend that turns your wardrobe mishaps into unique, one-of-a-kind pieces. With a little creativity and the right techniques, you can transform those flaws into stunning, handcrafted details.
Run by Elizabeth from Bulbosa Style, Fashion: On the Mend will help you give your troubled garments a new lease on life, while you sip herbal tea and chat to like-minded people wanting to slow down fast fashion.
What to bring:
A pair of jeans or a woven (not stretchy) top/skirt with a hole or stain up to the size of a 10c coin. Fabric extras, embroidery thread (in a range of colours), and needles will be provided—or feel free to bring your own!
Skill level:
No mending or sewing experience required.
So, why hide your imperfections when you can flaunt them? Join the visible mending movement and let your clothes tell the story.
This is an AFW Associated Event.
