- Description
- From my innocent fascination with hand embroidery, I've stumbled into the wild world of mending as my full-blown profession. I specialize in both noticeable and almost invisible mending for clients and my own family.
- About
-
I've taught myself a variety of mending techniques, but my absolute favorite method is the art of tiny embroidery. Since 2019, I've been sharing my mending skills through teaching.
- Bio
-
My name is Ekaterina Haak, and I'm a designer, embroidery artist, and upcycler based in Mühlheim an der Ruhr, Germany. I have a passion for sustainable textile practices and reducing waste mountains. I guess this mindset has its roots in my childhood in the former USSR, where I grew up. In a reality shaped by planned economies, I learned to appreciate resources and recognize their value.
Through creative stitching and darning techniques, I give clothing a longer lifespan, contributing to sustainability. I offer textile repair services and tailor-made workshops for individuals and businesses. - Accepts commissions
