This class will introduce you to the basics of creative mending including darning, patching, and stitching techniques. Creative mending not only strives to increase the longevity of our clothing and reduce textile waste, it is also a way to customize your clothing and gives you the tools to display your individuality through fashion. Use these techniques to repair thinning, torn, or stained clothing.
In this workshop you will discuss and see examples of different hand mending techniques.
You will learn stitching techniques including basket darning/ needle weaving, and pattern darning. And patching techniques including appliqué and reverse appliqué.
