Visible Mending Workshop

Transform your worn-out clothes into wearable art in our Visible Mending workshop! This hands-on class is all about turning rips, tears, and frays into beautiful, one-of-a-kind designs that add character and charm to your garments. Using hand-stitching techniques like sashiko, embroidery, and patching, you'll learn how to repair and rejuvenate your favorite pieces with creative flair. Whether it's a beloved pair of jeans or a cozy sweater, visible mending allows you to express your personal style while giving your clothes a second life.

In this workshop, we’ll explore different stitching methods, fabric choices, and the art of making repairs that are not only functional but also decorative. You’ll leave with the skills to mend your own clothes and an appreciation for the art of thoughtful, sustainable fashion.
