Hand Stitching vs Machine Stitching
You can choose hand stitching or machine stitching, and whether you would like the mending to be visible or more subtle.
I personally like a more visible mend in my clothes, because the age and love of the garment is visible.
Examples
A spunky patch for my friend's jeans!
The pockets on these pants are lined with a fun red canvas, and he wanted the patches on his beloved jeans to match!
This is a great example of a more visible, eye catching patch that shows how much the garment is loved.
A friend brought me her little girl's cold weather coat that had a hole from some sparklers and the remnants of an at home patch that didn't work very well.
Left to right: Before my mending, the inside after I mended the coat, and the outside with a cute blue flower.
This was a very sentimental shirt for my friend, and it gave me the chance to use quite a few different hand stitches.

Please include an image of the piece that needs repairs.
I currently only accept mending within Santa Cruz county.
