Visible Mending
Introduction:
Visible mending is a decorative way to fix up an item. Instead of trying to make your mend as invisible as possible, the idea is to make it part of the garment's design.
Visual mending is not a single technique: it's more of a mindset. If you've got an item you love, it deserves to be mended, and if you're going to put that love into stitches, why not show them off?
That being said, there are some specific techniques that are popular with visible menders. Let's take a look!
Sashiko:
Sashiko is a type of traditional Japanese embroidery that is used to both decorate and reinforce fabric. In visible mending, sashiko is often used to cover up holes with patches or to reinforce thinning fabric. This technique uses a variation on the running stitch.
Some resources on sashiko:
- SashiCo on YouTube: sashiko livestreams and information on the cultural aspect of sashiko.
- Written tutorial by Upcycle Stitches.
- Free sashiko templates by TheSpruceCrafts.
- Fixing jeans with sashiko by Soluna Collective.
Embroidery:
Regular embroidery is also a popular technique to accentuate your mends. Check out my embroidery 101 post to learn how to get started. You can embroider patches, or use embroidery to hide or accentuate any stitches you've made to fix holes. Embroidery's also a great way to cover up stains.
Patches:
There are many ways to add patches to a garment. My tutorial on patches is a good place to start if you want to make custom-shaped patches to sew on top of your fabric. You can also sew your patch on the inside of your garment and have it peek out from beneath the hole you're trying to fix. Fun ideas for this are lace or superheroes.

Darning:
Darning is a technique used to repair holes in fabric by using running stitches to weave extra fabric over the hole as to fill it up again. While traditionally darning is done in an invisible way by using the same colour of thread as your fabric, you can also use contrasting colours to accentuate your fix. Check out this written tutorial on darning by TheSpruceCrafts.
Conclusion:
Visible mending is a creative way to fix up your clothes and give them some personality at the same time.
You should be proud of the fact that you took the time and learned the necessary skills needed to mend your clothes! Show off what you did!
A fun side effect of wearing these obvious mends is that people will notice them. They'll remember your fixes the next time they're faced with a hole in their wardrobe, and it will make them more likely to try it for themselves.
These are just a few ways to visibly mend your garments. Want more inspiration? Check out Pinterest or r/Visiblemending on Reddit.

First try on! After I took these photos, I made some changes to the kyahan (leg wraps) and I also repainted the triangles all over the haori to make them stand out more. Just gotta style my wig, and maybe make some dumb eyebrows? ALA in five days!
Zenitsu pt 1 😩 ALA is so close gah
What We Do In the Shadows is one of my favorite movies, and the TV show is just as good. It’s on Hulu, you should watch it, and scope my queen, Nadja. <3
All pieces made by me! Even that dumb street sign.
Hi! I came upon your tumblr because I was looking for a wig tutorial for my daughter this Halloween. She wants to be Paper Star of Carmen Sandiego and was wondering if the foam could work for her hair too. So just to clarify, I first cover her head with plastic wrap then cover with masking tape as the base of the wig? Then what is the swim cap for? Your wig is awesome!
Hi!! The masking tape is just to make a pattern. You can use the masking tape pattern to cut out the foam for the wig base. I hope that makes sense. Good luck!

Hi ladies! I want to cosplay Aerith from the FF7 remake but I’m not sure how to go about her wig. I love the way the Epiccosplay Phoebe looks with the ponytail wrap, but my head is unfortunately too big for it! If I bought an Arda Jeannie, do you think it would be relatively easy to convert the wefts on that bulky clip into a wrap? Or would you guys recommend just getting a Jasmine? Thanks so much!!!
Hi there!
I think the Jeannie conversion to a wrap is your best bet of those options; the Jasmine is atrociously hard to work with because any tangle on that ponytail can change the position of the ponytail itself, and it’s got so much fiber to take out and re-do… it’s a lot. Doing the wrap-wefts is as easy as dismantling the ponytail clip and assembling the wefts into a row (you can double, triple or even quadruple the wefts up to make it thicker rather than longer) and then sewing clips to the inner edge. I suggest sewing this all; glue gets ugly/bulky fast.
Also food for thought: I did Aerith in June and decided to take an entirely different tact, as I am a brunette naturally, though I obviously don’t have her length nor the desire to commit to those wild bangs. I decided to just do a half-wig to skip the sizing issue on the ponytail wigs.
What I did was buy a regular brown lacefront and then cut off the back, leaving a) the bangs, b) the sideburns for the long front curls and c) a couple rows of wefts behind the bangs going back to the ponytail. I styled this piece, put my hair in a ponytail, and then applied the half-wig. I collected the C rows into my ponytail using a second elastic, and then wrapped a row of wefts similar to your extension around all that, and then just braided it.
Here it was before I styled it:
And then here it was after:
Of course, that only works if you have brown hair of some sort that can be ponytailed, but I found it astronomically lighter and easier to wear, not to mention cheaper.
