Mending

I’ve taught mending classes in-person since 2016, and now you can learn to mend with me online in my on-demand class:

Mending by Hand

I mend clothing and other textiles, paying special attention to comfort, drape, and fit. Please contact me for a mending estimate at HeidiParkesINFO (at) gmail.com, subject heading, "Mending Estimate."

  • At this time, I am only considering mends at $1000 and above. Please consider if your item and budget will allow for this.

Email Details:

  • Send a clear photo of the item.

  • Include your hand or a quarter in the photo for scale.

  • include quilt dimensions or clothing size for scale.

  • Share your city, state, country.

  • If a specific finish date is desired, please share that now.

  • Please share any limitations or preferences. Examples might be:

    • The most cost-effective mend vs best possible mend

    • Mend as invisibly as possible

    • Create a visible mend with a favorite color, a specific fabric, yarn, or any other personal wish

Notes:

  • I can mend quilts, clothes, and other unique objects.

  • I can mend more than one item in an order to reach the $1,000 minimum.

  • Anticipate a turnaround time of about 3-6 months.
