How to Fix a Hole with a Raised Fishbone Leaf | Embroidery for Visible Mending

Got a small hole in your favorite garment? Let’s cover it up! In this embroidery tutorial, I’ll show you how to use the raised fishbone stitch to create a padded, leaf-shaped design that’s perfect for visible mending. This technique is ideal for repairing fabrics while adding decorative flair. You can use a stick and stitch patch as a stabilizer, or simply draw the shape directly on your garment—your call. 🌿 Bonus: Finish it off with a straight stitch to make a cute stem! 💬 Let me know in the comments: what will you stitch this on?
