Desert Flora: Visible Mending Transfers

Sale price$12.50

Desert flora are experts in survival—plants that store, ration, shed, scar, and adapt in order to keep going in places that look inhospitable at first glance. They bloom slowly, opportunistically, and often only once, proving that resilience doesn’t have to be loud to be extraordinary. This transfer set honors that quiet ingenuity, connecting the way desert plants endure to the way Approved Textiles approaches mending: thoughtful, intentional, and built for long lives rather than quick fixes.

Each transfer cutout measures 4.25" by 5.5".

How to Use Your Visible Mending Transfers


Prep Your Fabric: Make sure your fabric is clean and dry before starting.

Choose Your Design: Pick one of the four designs from the set.

Apply the Transfer: Place the transfer design with the printed side facing the fabric. Gently press to activate the adhesive.

Stitch: Use a needle and thread to stitch along the design, following the printed lines. Feel free to add your own flair or skip areas you don't like.

Rinse and Reveal: Once your stitching is complete, rinse the fabric to remove the stabilizer. Your design will stay in place, and the stabilizer will wash away!

Our Process

Purpose in Repurposing

Everything I make at m.a.b.e.l takes time. I find and like to work with pre-1950s quilts because of their natural fibers and their designs that are so old they’re modern again. I work slowly to appreciate all the handwork and decisions that once created them. Every quilt is beautifully unique, and I love making it shine.

Out with the old...

At m.a.b.e.l, everything old can be new again. Send me your used m.a.b.e.l coat or popover (it’ll be repurposed once again!) and I'll give you a discount on your next one!
