About this event

This class is a great introduction into the very basics of what many call “visible mending,” as well as simply upcycling your old clothing! Visible mending entails bringing a broken, faded, or ripped item and making it look colorful and fun in a “patched-up” way. This class can be done entirely with hand sewing and embroidery, but you are also free to use the sewing machines! The instructor will bring some premade “idea swatches” as well as scrap fabric for you to gather inspiration from!

In this class, we will focus on:
– Basic hand embroidery stitches
– Fun and intentionally noticeable stitching/patching
– Altering garments for a more desirable outcome

Materials Needed

As this is a mending class, you will need to supply an “old garment.” Anything works, as long as you don’t like wearing it the way it is!

Some ideas:
- A shirt with a small hole
- Pants you simply never wear
- Socks that are ugly
***Bring multiple items to choose from!!!***

Embroidery floss, scrap fabric, and other small items will be supplied for your use. However, feel free to add to the pile of “inspirational junk!”
Other ideas for accessorizing your mending project:
- Ribbon

Scrap fabric
- Beads
- Trim Embroidery floss
- Yarn
