Visible Mending

Visible Mending

Turn a flaw into a feature with visible mending. Bring one or two items (shirts, jeans, bags, whatever!) and repair them in class. Students will receive a demonstration of basic mending techniques such as patching, darning, sewing a button, and basic embroidery stitches.

Level:  Beginner. All skill levels

Pre-requisites: None, but basic sewing and embroidery skills will come in handy. Ages 15+.

Included in class: A simple starter kit – one card of sashiko thread (to be chosen in class), one variety pack of sewing needles, sewing thread, pins, and instructions.

What to bring: One or two items to repair, scrap fabric for patches, pins, a thimble, and any thread/floss you already have and like to use. Materials can be purchased during class, and some will be available for free.
