Visible Mending Workshop: Darning

August 15 @ 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm

Description

Visible mending is repairing your clothes, and it is so much more- it is care, slowing down, gratitude, creative expression, autonomy, fashion, sustainability, fun, intentional, relaxing, and hopeful! We will mend in community with one another and practice a timeless skill that honors the clothes we wear and the care we take of them.

Learn to visibly mend your clothes with darning, a woven fabric patching technique that can be used to repair holes and reinforce fabrics to revitalize your well-loved garments and celebrate the act of repair.

At this workshop, we will teach you to visibly mend a garment using the darning technique. Please bring a garment you would like to mend, such as a threadbare sock or a hole-y t-shirt. Mending supplies (sewing needles, yarn/thread) will be provided, but feel free to bring your own if you would like.

Please RSVP here.
