I've put on my uniform and I'm ready to go to school. Professor X, why haven't you come to pick me up yet? I can't stand being in this human school for another minute.😂
The story behind attributing colours to genders
Originally, the colour pink was masculine. Yes, shocked, aren't you? During the 18th century, European armies, including the British, used red as the primary color for their uniforms. Red was chosen because it was a strong, distinctive color that could be easily spotted on the battlefield. These red tunics were often made from a type of dye that wasn't very colorfast, meaning they would fade over time and with repeated washings. As a result, after numerous washings and exposure to the elements, the red dye in these soldier tunics would often fade to a lighter shade, including pink. These faded red uniforms were still worn by soldiers, and it became a symbol of their toughness and experience in battle. This association with strength and masculinity contributed to the idea that pink was a color of masculinity.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the concept of gendered colors was not as firmly established as it is today. In fact, some fashion experts during this time period suggested that pink was a more suitable color for boys, as it was seen as a stronger and more vibrant shade, while blue was considered a softer and more delicate color and therefore more appropriate for girls.
Earlier, newborns were clothed in white, clothes often worn before by other babies as money was short. Eventually, when people stopped buying these clothes, manufacturers turned to advertising and started attributing these colours to genders because people would have to buy mew clothes every time a baby was born because what are the chances that a girl would be born after another girl? Pretty low.
The shift in perception began in the mid-20th century, and by the 1940s, advertising and marketing played a significant role in shaping the color associations we know today. Advertisers and manufacturers started promoting pink as a symbol of femininity, often using it in products and clothing for girls. This marketing strategy eventually solidified the modern perception of pink as a feminine color and blue as a masculine one.
Visible Mending
Introduction:
Visible mending is a decorative way to fix up an item. Instead of trying to make your mend as invisible as possible, the idea is to make it part of the garment's design.
Visual mending is not a single technique: it's more of a mindset. If you've got an item you love, it deserves to be mended, and if you're going to put that love into stitches, why not show them off?
That being said, there are some specific techniques that are popular with visible menders. Let's take a look!
Sashiko:
Sashiko is a type of traditional Japanese embroidery that is used to both decorate and reinforce fabric. In visible mending, sashiko is often used to cover up holes with patches or to reinforce thinning fabric. This technique uses a variation on the running stitch.

Embroidery:
Regular embroidery is also a popular technique to accentuate your mends. Check out my embroidery 101 post to learn how to get started. You can embroider patches, or use embroidery to hide or accentuate any stitches you've made to fix holes. Embroidery's also a great way to cover up stains.

Patches:
There are many ways to add patches to a garment. My tutorial on patches is a good place to start if you want to make custom-shaped patches to sew on top of your fabric. You can also sew your patch on the inside of your garment and have it peek out from beneath the hole you're trying to fix. Fun ideas for this are lace or superheroes.

Darning:
Darning is a technique used to repair holes in fabric by using running stitches to weave extra fabric over the hole as to fill it up again. While traditionally darning is done in an invisible way by using the same colour of thread as your fabric, you can also use contrasting colours to accentuate your fix. Check out this written tutorial on darning by TheSpruceCrafts.

Conclusion:
Visible mending is a creative way to fix up your clothes and give them some personality at the same time.
You should be proud of the fact that you took the time and learned the necessary skills needed to mend your clothes! Show off what you did!
A fun side effect of wearing these obvious mends is that people will notice them. They'll remember your fixes the next time they're faced with a hole in their wardrobe, and it will make them more likely to try it for themselves.
These are just a few ways to visibly mend your garments. Want more inspiration? Check out Pinterest or r/Visiblemending on Reddit.

"they didn't even wear pants back then!" "you can't do anything in a skirt!" "we have more practical clothing now, like jeans!" "modern women are sexy AND comfortable in jeans!" "school bans skirts to be gender neutral!" "hampered by their long skirts, women in the past couldn't-"
biting you killing you maiming you biting you
we fought for the right to choose pants if we wanted to. pants are NOT some Inherently Superior Garment, and skirts aren't Inherently Oppressive. goddamnit, our ancestors did not struggle the way they did for more bullshit prescriptivism and erasure of their lived realities
(spoiler: they COULD function in long skirts! it's not that hard! obviously pants are better for some very specific tasks but like. full goalie gear is better for some tasks, too!)
