Enhance your damaged clothes with repairing embroidery
Have you heard of repair embroidery? This artisanal technique, halfway between repair and personalization, transforms damaged garments into unique pieces. A tear, a hole or a stain are no longer reasons to part with your favorite pieces: they become the starting point for an original creation.
At TILLI, our craftsmen master both hand and machine embroidery, and can advise you on how to repair your garments while personalizing them.
What is repair embroidery?
Repair embroidery is the art of masking imperfections while adding a decorative touch. More than just mending, this technique transforms damaged garments into original pieces. Inspired by practices such as Japanese sashiko, it combines robustness and aesthetics, while extending the life of your garments.
At TILLI, our craftsmen use quality yarns, varied patterns and meticulous technique to guarantee results that are as beautiful as they are strong.
Types of clothing suitable for repair embroidery
Repair embroidery can be adapted to a wide range of textiles and styles:
- Jeans with holes: a star, flower or even an embroidered patch at knee level adds a discreet, personal touch.
- Stained T-shirts or shirts: a fine pattern or geometric embroidery on the stain can save your favorite garment.
- Delicate stitches: a matching or contrasting thread can repair and strengthen pulled stitches while adding a decorative effect.
- Jackets or coats: for these pieces, larger embroideries on the elbows or back add a bold, contemporary touch.
How does TILLI repair embroidery work?
At TILLI, every repair embroidery begins with a careful analysis of the garment. Our craftsmen examine the condition of the fabric, the extent of the defect and its location to determine the best approach.
Once the diagnosis has been made, we discuss the options with you, suggesting designs to suit your tastes and the style of your garment. Whether you prefer discreet embroidery or a bold design, every suggestion is personalized.
Depending on your needs, our craftsmen use a hand or machine embroidery technique, chosen to guarantee a result as aesthetic as it is solid. Each stitch is executed with care, respecting the unique character of your garment. Once the embroidery is complete, we check its quality and strength before returning the piece to you. This attention to detail makes every repair a truly bespoke creation.
Repairing embroidery trends
Several styles of repair embroidery appeal to fashion enthusiasts:
- Modern sashiko: Inspired by Japan, this style favors regular stitches forming geometric or floral motifs.
- Embroidered patches: Very popular, they add texture and a variety of colors.
- Minimalist motifs: A small star, heart or initial embroidered close to the repaired area adds discretion and elegance.
