<p>Handy with a needle and thread? Cracks, holes, or other wear-and-tear in clothing may now be visibly repaired to be eco-friendly.&nbsp;</p>

<p>One of the newest sustainable fashion trends, "visible mending," encourages us <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/6-sustainable-fashion-brands-that-upcycle-eco-friendly">not to throw away old items</a> immediately, but rather <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/heron-preston-mecedes-benz-collaboration-collection-look">recycle</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/customized-clothing-to-shop">customize</a> them. Refabricing old materials creates a colorful mix of colors and materials. The result is an unpolished item with a high DIY score.</p>

<p>Anyone who can sew can take part in visible mending. The technique is similar to the Japanese practice of Kintsugi in which broken crockery is repaired with gold-colored glue so that the cracks remain visible.</p>
<div>From <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/monogram-tights-fall-winter-2021-fashion-trend-instagram">Instagram</a> to the runway, upcycling and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/pre-order-retail-model-shopping-sustainability">sustainability</a> is hotter than ever. Several fashion houses have tinkered with mixed fabrics. For example, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/men/loewe-fall-winter-2021-menswear">Loewe</a> presented jackets and dresses made of multiple materials by <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/men/gilbert-and-george-art-jonathan-anderson-designer-interview">Jonathan Anderson</a>, while&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/hermes-fall-winter-2022-runway-photos">Herm&egrave;s</a> offered patchwork-like bomber jackets.</div>

<p>To execute it yourself, simply fix a hole in a garment with a <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/ways-to-style-patchwork-denim-trend-tom-ford">patch</a> and supplement it with colorful yarn if desired. You can also weave in the damage, sew a nice <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/crochet-trend-spring-summer-2022-celebrity-fashion-hailey-bieber-olivia-rodrigo">crochet</a> pattern over it, or emphasize the gap by creating a colorful border around it. Elsewhere, you can camouflage a stain with crochet or patch over it or with a colorful thread around it. Your worn-out areas are now reinforced with striking sewing stitches.</p>
