About Approved Textiles
At Approved Textiles, we make visible mending easy, beautiful, and accessible—whether you sew all the time or haven’t picked up a needle since grade school. Our water-soluble mending transfers are designed to extend the life of clothing while inviting creativity, slowness, and care. Inspired by repair traditions from around the world—like sashiko, kantha, and darning—each pattern is printed on a dissolvable wood-pulp stabilizer (no microplastics!) and packaged in compostable paper. Just press on, stitch through, and rinse away. We’re based on historic Fabric Row in Philadelphia and proud to be a queer- and trans-owned business rooted in sustainability, handwork, and storytelling. Our transfers are a natural fit for sewing shops, where customers are looking to personalize garments, practice hand stitching, or dive deeper into slow fashion. For lifestyle and gift boutiques, they’re easy to display, plastic-free, and make beautiful gifts—whether for a seasoned maker or someone just starting their mending journey. Low minimums, clear instructions, and artful packaging make them ready for retail shelves, workshops, and windows. We believe in repair as a daily act of care—and we’d love to be part of your shop.

This is such a smart product idea that crosses over in our bookshop, and is displayed near our needlework kits. It also bridges the art and utilitarian craft worlds. You don’t need to know who Annie Albers or Eva Hesse were to appreciate these patches but if you do know who those women were, then you’ll appreciate this all the more! The only thing I think would improve this would be IF you had pre-sewn display samples available.
