Mend

Mend I feel like my products are a part of an art form that has been forgotten about for a long time. I wa My name is Martha Ellen Gunn, I'm the hands behind Mend.

Mend: Embroidery to me is a love, a release, a soothing pass time, a self expression and a fond memory. Mend officially began in 2011 as a creative outlet; a way to fill a void that could only be satisfied by creating. In reality, Mend has always existed, it just wasn't given a name for some time. Mend is the most fitting name and description for what I love to do. I have always loved to create, t

o make, to fix and to bring new life to something forgotten. My love for embroidery has been cultivated over a number of years, beginning at age 8 when my grandmother thought me how to cross stitch. Soon after I went to "sewing boot camp" at my aunts. This family love affair with sewing and stitching has only grown and become a special bond between my grandmother, my aunt and me. Embroidery to me is a love, a release, a soothing pass time, a self expression and a fond memory. I hope you come to love Mend as much as I do!

Feeling pretty professional today! New signage so you can actually find me 😂

But in all seriousness, this is another one of those steps where I have to pinch myself, because I sometimes feel like this can’t be real! I can’t believe I get to do something I love so much everyday, that I get to create & work with my hands, that I get to give well loved garments new life. That you trust me & see my work as worthwhile. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!

look how big it is! Thank you for knowing me so well & capturing my essence in the the perfect branding 🖤

30. You are not what I expected nor imagined, but better than I could have dreamed. Having your birthday during a pandemic/protesting/riot season with a curfew doesn’t seem like the ingredients for a good birthday, but I have been overwhelmed and felt so loved by all the amazing people in my life! Thank you for the wishes! Hopefully 2020 only gets better?
