The response to these jumper cuff repairs has been so wonderful. I know visible mending isn’t for everyone, but I think that picking out colours from the rest of the jumper for a more subtle finish has made the idea of a visible repair way more appealing. I guess this is just a reminder to say, visible mending can take whatever form you want it to!
