Creative Mending Workshop


*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 07/22/2023
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. 12+ years welcome
