Approved Textiles - Visible Mending Transfers | Postcolonial Love Poem 

In Postcolonial Love Poem, Natalie Diaz writes about water as something that is not separate from us, but part of us.

I think about that a lot when I look at the American flag.

The flag tells a story about states and borders: fifty stars for fifty states, thirteen stripes for the original colonies. But it doesn’t tell us much about the rivers, land, ecosystems, or Native nations that existed long before those borders and still sustain life now.

We wanted to imagine a different kind of symbol. One that feels less about ownership and control, and more about connection, movement, and life itself.

We’re trading stars and stripes for galaxies and rivers.

Each transfer cut-out is 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!
