The process of mending changes our relationship with clothing, minimizes our environmental footprint, and gives us the opportunity to individualize what we wear.
In this hands-on workshop, you will learn in the community of others, how to mend and decorate your favorite piece of clothing using the age-old traditions of the simple running stitch embroidery such as sashiko and kantha stitching, patching and darning while blending creative joy with usefulness.
What you should bring:
• A piece of clothing that needs mending, repair or embellishment (e.g. pair of jeans)
• A scrap of fabric for patches (print works best, although the fabric shouldn’t be too thin)
• & a thimble
Instructor will provide: thread, darning/Sashiko needles, and will have some scrap fabric available too.
This class is appropriate for ages 12 years and older.
