Visible Mending Workshop
Saturday, June 14 | 1–2 PM
Give your clothes new life—with style! ✨
Join us for a hands-on Visible Mending Workshop where you’ll learn to repair your garments using creative techniques rooted in Sashiko embroidery. This accessible, expressive approach to mending works with all skill levels and can be personalized for your own style. We’ll have plenty of materials so you only need to bring an item to mend. This is a one hour workshop, but the afternoon drop-in session starts right after so participants are welcome to stay and continue their projects or try something else!
This is a great activity for all ages, old or young, and a great weekend activity for the family. If you can hold and use a sewing needle, you can try visible mending!
You’ll get:
A quick intro to the history and practice of visible mending
Guidance on templates, stitching techniques, and design ideas
One-on-one help as you work on your piece
What to bring: A garment that needs mending (required,) embroidery thread, fabric scraps, sew-on patches.
We will have fabric, embroidery hoops, needles, embroidery thread, and sashiko templates available for everyone to use, but if you have a preferred colour of fabric/thread or fun patches please bring them!
Cost: $5–$15 sliding scale
