Come learn some practical visible mending basics from instructor Ari (they/them). These techniques can help with extending the life of your clothing and fabrics while making them more unique and beautiful. Not only that, you’ll be helping to keep materials out of the waste stream!

We’ll cover patching as well as boro-style straight stitching for added strength.

Please bring your own piece of clothing or other fabric item (bag, curtain, etc) to work on. Bring something that is made of a sturdy non-stretchy material; denim or canvas works great! If you don’t currently have a damaged item, you can either bring something of your own to practice on and add some embellishment, or the instructor can provide you with a piece of fabric.

For patches, you can bring non-stretchy fabric that you’d like to use, or the instructor will have some on hand to use.

We’ll get a start on your project and send you home with the materials and know-how to complete it.
