Back by popular demand! Are your favorite comfy jeans sprouting holes that seem to grow larger every day? Do the ragged elbows of your favorite flannel keep catching on corners? In this three hour workshop you will learn the simple and comforting act of patching your clothes with a handheld needle and thread. You will also learn to determine the size and weight of your patch fabric, choose the correct needle and thread for your project, which mends are best for common wear areas and a handful of patch styles and stitch patterns to infuse your storied clothing with new life.
Sashiko needles, sashiko thread and a variety of patching material will be provided. Bring 2-3 woven garments in need of repair, a sense of adventure and let Jenny help you get started on your mending journey. If you don't have clothing in need of some TLC, we'll have a stack of free, heavily loved clothing to practice on.
