Transform garment repair into an act of care, expression, and storytelling. Inspired by Louise Bourgeois’ organic forms, biomorphic curves, and skeletal structures, this visible mending transfer set invites a tactile, contemplative approach to mending—stitching vulnerability, resilience, and personal narrative directly into your everyday textiles.
Rooted in Bourgeois’ exploration of memory, texture, and the body, these transfers translate her expressive visual language into original hand-stitching patterns. Designed by Approved Textiles, this set offers a creative homage to the psychological depth and tactile power of her iconic work.
- Includes 4 transfer cut-outs (4.25" x 5.5" each)
- Eco-friendly, water-soluble wood pulp adhesive film
- Visible mending / hand embroidery (requires needle and thread)
How to Use:
- Make sure your garment is clean and completely dry before starting.
- Position the transfer printed-side up on your fabric and press down gently to activate the adhesive.
- Follow the printed guide using a needle and thread. Feel free to follow the exact lines or customize the pattern with your own creative flair.
- Hold the stitched area under warm water to wash away the stabilizer, leaving behind only your embroidery.
- Let the fabric dry and enjoy your newly revived, artfully mended garment.
