Eva Hesse: Visible Mending Transfers

Though known for her organic, tactile forms, Eva Hesse had a deep relationship with structure and repetition. This set explores her geometric works, translating their grids, loops, and interconnected lines into visible mending transfer patterns. Whether you're reinforcing worn fabric or adding artistic detail, these designs encourage a rhythmic, meditative approach to repair—one that echoes Hesse’s own engagement with balance, tension, and play. Printed on water-soluble stabilizer, they offer a unique way to stitch new life into textiles with a nod to one of the most innovative artists of her time.

Details:

• Includes: 4 printed designs on wash-away wood pulp stickers for visible mending and embelleshment
• Each transfer cutout measures 4.25 x 5.5 inches
• Stitching support and example videos available on approved-textiles.com
