Hi Erin,
Loved that repair article and glad to see your timely repair mentioned! Regarding visible repairs: my husband did a few road tours with Patagonia’s Worn Wear crew doing repair events on all types of outdoor clothing. Most people want a matching patch or zipper (color, size) but so many items are well-loved and hand-me-downs that they actually started requesting non-matching color schemes. Patagonia has since begun designing mixed-color baffles on their insulated jackets and vests. So funny. If you want some heart warming stories from customers, here’s a link to their site. https://wornwear.patagonia.com/stories
Love the idea of repairing my couch but at a loss with a worn out section on the arm—would attach a photo but not sure how
this is my favorite couch mending idea: hexies! (made into a patch instead of a quilt.)

I love that visible mending is gaining more traction/interest. I can also heavily endorse Patagonia’s repair service – my daughter inherited a 15 year old down puffer and they just replaced the main zipper for free. Another company I came across that’s doing amazing things with repair/reuse is https://suayla.com/
