Marielle: 我对缝纫机很感兴趣,希望能用它来调整和改造衣服。可见性缝补是一种不隐藏缝线,展示手工缝补的技巧,这让我觉得很有意思,也很有意义。 Ravenna Koenig: 我喜欢可见性缝补,因为它具有创造性,重复的手工缝纫让我专注,并且能将破旧的衣服变成可以再次穿着的东西,这让我感到非常满足。我喜欢用各种颜色和款式的线、布料进行创作,让缝补后的衣服焕发出新的生命力。 Kate Sekulis: 我称可见性缝补为共同设计缝补,因为它融合了原始制作者、损坏因素和你自己的风格。人们对缝补的兴趣日益增长,是因为消费者越来越意识到购买新衣服对个人来说可能很便宜,但在其他方面代价高昂。缝补是一种风格选择,也是在这个过度工业化、快节奏的时尚世界中夺回控制权的好方法。 Arona Konaraj: 过去,缝补衣服会被认为是一种羞耻,因为这与贫穷联系在一起。但现在,缝补不仅是一种实用的修复手段,也是一种展示创造力和表达自我的方式。可见性缝补更具创造性和表达性,也更具包容性,针脚就像你的签名一样独特。
