About the video: Camouflage Patches
Overview
“Many times it happens that we are using a piece that we do not like or do not convince us as it combines with the fabric of our garment to repair. We can continue to use that patch and camouflage it with embroidery. In this lesson I show you how to incorporate a patch that we previously embroidered into a hole and I will teach you how we can join the patch and make it lose sight with the same embroidery.”
In this video lesson Ofelia & Antelmo addresses the topic: Camouflage Patches, which is part of the Domestika online course: Embroidery: Clothing Repair. Learn the Visible Mending technique and revive your garments using original embroidery pieces and patches that express your style.

A course by Ofelia & Antelmo
Ofelia & Antelmo is a project created by Gabriela Martínez—Textile Designer and Artist—which began in 2017 as a contemporary textile art project working across two formats: textile art and wearable art.
Textile art is where Gabriela explores her ideas using color, texture, stitches, and embroidery effects to create artisanal pieces with unique finishing touches that are resistant to wear and tear. Her aim is to focus on the quality of each piece, instead of producing high quantities. There is an intention of longevity in her work as a form of protest against the disposable, fast-paced world we live in today.
