Want to learn to repair your clothes, make your favorite pieces last longer, or embellish your wardrobe with personal touches? Taught over four evenings, this class will cover mending both woven and knit fabrics by hand and machine. Techniques covered will include patching and reinforcing fabric using a few foundational stitches, basic embroidery, Sashiko, and a couple of versatile darning approaches.
