Emma can mend pretty much any knit or crocheted item, whether it was hand or machine made as well as woven blankets.

If you have a different type of item that you would like mended by hand--rather than with a sewing machine--please consult with Emma at EmmaMendsKnits@gmail.com before dropping off the item.

On your intake form you will specify whether you would like a less noticeable mend, or a decorative mend. For less noticeable mends, materials and techniques will be chosen to match the damaged item as well as possible.

Scroll down to 'Examples of Mends' for examples.

The rate for mending is $35/hour, with an $10.50 minimum.

Most small repairs can be done for $10.50-$18.50, and most medium to large repairs for under $35. When you drop off your item(s), you can identify your maximum budget for the repair.

If you would like an estimate for your specific repair, you can request that on the intake form and Emma will email you before starting your mend.

This depends on the complexity of the project and the length of Emma’s mending queue. Small repairs can usually be expedited if needed. If you need something back by a particular date, please note that on your intake form, and Emma will email you to confirm whether or not the mend can be completed in the timeframe. If you have an item that you would rather not be out of your possession for a long time, you can email Emma with details of the project: she will add you to her book, and let you know when it is time to drop off the item.
