Visible Mending: How to Cover a Stain

Let me show you how I creatively cover stains that won't come out of my clothing. This is a fun and easy set of embroidery stitches perfect for any level of stitching experience.
This video was made for an Instagram IGTV collaboration between Stuart Moores Textiles and Eileen Fisher NY. You can find more mending videos by SMT on the SMT IGTV video feed or on the Eileen Fisher IGTV feed.
Let's stop fast fashion by creating sustainable slow fashion habits starting with mending the clothing we already have. What do you think? Want to join me?

It's such a good idea and it looks lovely ! I might try it out.

[@stuartmoorestextiles]

I hope you do! Thanks for watching. :)

My brain can’t filter out noices well, so the background music make it really difficult for me to focus. I think the video and instructions was really good and I wish to see more of your well made videos. Would it be possible to also publish versions of the videos without the background music, to make the content more accessible?

[@stuartmoorestextiles]

Hi Emelie, I'm sorry to hear the music makes it hard to focus. I made these videos when I was brand new to video making so as many have pointed out the audio levels are too high. My apologies for this. I am learning to make videos better and have worked out the audio kinks in my latest video tutorials. I made these videos for IG originally and actually made this one specifically so that people could follow it without the sound because a lot of people watch IG without sound. I hope that helps and I hope the videos I am making now are easier to follow with the audio fixed.

Hello from Veracruz Mexico :)) Your way of teaching is great, I learn a lot from you, thank you.

[@stuartmoorestextiles]

Thank you so much for saying so, it means a lot! :)

[@provia400]

Love this idea!

[@stuartmoorestextiles]

Thanks! It's so easy, I use it all the time.

You can draw over them with permanent ( alcohol based) markers also because those type of markers don't wash out or bleed

Hi! What do you do with the edges of the stabilizing fabric inside the shirt? Does the embroidery and stabilizing fabric make it itchy to wear?

[@stuartmoorestextiles]

Not itchy in the least! I have never felt it. If I have time I will tuck under the inside stabilizing fabric and tack it down with a whip stitch (this shows on the other side but is actually nice) but if I don't mind what the back looks like I just leave it (pinking shears will help with fray but I have never had an issue). Hope that helps! ☺️

I watched this and then covered a bleach spot on a tank top. Thank you!

[@stuartmoorestextiles]

Yay! New life!
