Repair Process
- Select the colour of felt and type of print
- We will send you shipping instructions and a repair form to know more about your repair request (colour, design....)
- Send your repair to Alicia in Eindhoven
- Alicia will send your repaired garment back, shipping covered
Depending on the type and size of repair these normally take between 5 to 10 days to be sent back to you. Shipping to fixing fashion is at your own cost but we will cover the cost of shipment back to you.
Felt making is that it was an accidental discovery. Thousands of years ago, in Asia and Europe, when people wore wool, they noticed that over time the wool would felt due to movement, heat and sweat causing the fibres to bind together.
Felting is down with needles that have intersected hooks, when you punch through the wool fibres, the fibres will stick together and become felted. Needle felting can be a good repair technique to cover a lot of stains or little moth holes especially on thicker fabrics like coats, sweaters and jackets. The repair can be fixed to the spot or incorporated into a larger design.
