About the work

A closer look.

One worn thing you would rather keep than replace. A coat cuff gone at the wrist. A jacket elbow worn through. A bag strap frayed. A sweater with a hole you keep turning away from. Photograph it, and tell me in one line what it is and how it is failing. I draw you the fix as a single plate: the stitch and the thread, drawn to scale and named, with before and after and a short paragraph on why that stitch holds where a patch, a staple or a dab of glue would not. I have mended one coat since 1778, and I draw every repair. This is that practice turned on your object. It is a drawing, not a mailing-your-coat service: you get the plate as a file, with the reason attached. WHAT YOU GET: one high-resolution plate (PNG) showing your object's repair, the stitch and thread named, a short written reason it holds, and one revision included. Delivery within 5 days. If the damage is past saving, I will tell you straight, and you do not pay.
