Turn your repairs into part of your garments history and stitch tears and holes into beautiful features.
Learn a mixture of hand stitch techniques suitable for a variety of mending projects to extend the life of your clothes.
Save a favourite jumper by patching or darning; rework and recreate clothes whilst learning the sustainable value of repair. Bring along your piece of clothing that needs to be repaired and between us it will be transformed.
During this workshop you will learn;
· Darning: Use darning wools and other natural yarns from our collection. Learn basket stitch to create a weave like structure over the hole using warp and weft threads. Choose contrasting colours to create bold checks and stripes or create geometric shapes and graphic patterns to transform and repair your knitwear.
· Visible Mending: Running stitch or Sashiko, translated as little stabs in Japan for reinforcing fine and thinning fabric. This technique is also used in conjunction with basket stitch to create a stable mend.
