The perfect antidote to fast fashion, visible mending is all about giving clothing a new lease on life while turning everyday pieces into something beautiful and unique.In this hands-on workshop, you'll explore traditional Japanese decorative stitching techniques used to mend, strengthen and embellish fabric. Discover how a simple repair can become a beautiful design feature, transforming well-loved clothing into something truly one of a kind.
We'll be working with recycled denim and vintage kimono fabrics, giving these beautiful textiles a second life.
You'll leave with a repaired item and/or a hand-stitched fabric square that can be used as a coaster or decorative mat. It also makes a lovely handmade gift!
