This is a packet of 4 stitching designs inspired by the work of the artist Eva Hesse (1936-1970) and printed onto wash away fabric. You peel the fabric off the backing, stick it to your project, and simply stitch over the printed stitch lines. When finished soak and rinse away the fabric and voila!
The biodegradable packaging is interesting, with a write up about the artist and how her work inspired the designs ..."by embracing irregularity and chance, Hesse's work redefined permanence and repair, making her an enduring inspiration for makers and menders alike.... translates seamlessly into mending transfers - celebrating repair as an artistic act." (from packaging)
There are good directions for how to use the product
Also an interesting list of the visible mending practices of 8 different cultures
This is a product created with slow fashion, up-cycling and healthier environments in future.
Designed by "Approved Textiles" who believe in the importance of hand-made and sustainable-made goods.
