Mending

I mend clothing and other textiles, paying special attention to comfort, drape, and fit. Please contact me for a mending estimate at HeidiParkesArt@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 or quilting (ex: wider spacing in a hand quilting project) $

    • The best mend possible (ex: my usual 1” gap when quilting) $$

    • Do something really special (ex: complex overlapping quilting, a 1/4” gap, exposed knots, etc) $$$

    • Mend as invisibly as possible

    • Create a visible mend at the artists discretion

    • 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.

  • I don’t have a particularly fast turnaround time for mending, expect 3-6 months.
