About this website

Please use the menu bar above to read about me, services I offer, client's voices, and so on. What I made or repaired in the past are showcased in the blog entries. I believe in making quality handmade items, mending/repairing and upcycling/remaking previously loved fabric items as much as possible. (I'm sorry, but I no longer accept translation/interpreting orders from new clients.)

Mending of ripped fabrics

Here are some mending done by a sewing machine. When there are tears, cuts, or wear, I cannot make it back to its original shape. However, I can close the hole so that you can still use the garment. 

This is recommended on pyjamas, underwear, or otherwise considered private wear. It is especially good for a favourite pyjamas or nightshirt that are so comfortable because you've worn it for a long time... 

Or, if you don't mind a little stitches here and there, you can definitely wear the repaired garments in pride in public! 

I see in many articles about clothing industry waste that people just throw away reparable or mendable clothing pieces in garbage. What a pity. (There's also an issue of too much being produced, too, but that's another issue that I am afraid to write about because I would not be able to stop talking about it. If you're curious, just google the topic... There're a ton of articles in the cyber space.)

In any case, if you are interested in having your clothes repaired like above, please feel free to contact me. Or if you would like to learn how to, please let me know, too.
