Carmen Herrera: Visible Mending Transfers

Carmen Herrera (1915–2022) spent a lifetime making art—bold lines, sharp edges, and perfect balance—long before the world noticed. She kept going anyway, proving that craft and intention matter more than recognition. Like visible mending, her work reminds us that every mark we make has weight, history, and beauty.

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!
