This is a chance to do some personal mending with advice and assistance. Spend a relaxing day with needle and thread, a cup of coffee or tea, and like-minded individuals while getting your wardrobe ready for the cooler days to come. Bring your personal items in need of repair: holey socks, worn elbows, thin knees, motheaten sweaters. I’ll have a variety of wool, flannel, woven, and knit scraps to choose from; you have the option of bringing yarns or pieces of fabric to match your garment. I am happy to advise on a variety of mending techniques: applique, sashiko, reweaving, visible or discreet repairs.
Students are encouraged to bring a sack lunch. Coffee, tea, water and light snacks will be served.
Limit 8 students.
