Event description

Join us for a relaxing and fun visible mending workshop with Elise Hinkley from Hoop Hoop Hooray.

Whether you're a novice or a seasoned stitch enthusiast, this workshop aims to empower you to build on your existing skills and knowledge, exploring visible mending techniques such as appliqué, embroidery, and sashiko. Give your clothes a new lease on life and enhance your repair and transformation skills.

What you’ll get:

• All workshop materials (including Sashiko needle and thread) and notes so that you can continue mending and revamping your clothes at home.

What to bring:

• Garments (jeans, shirts, jumpers, cardigans, socks) or home textiles (tea towel or tablecloth) that have rips or holes that need repairing.

• Embellishments (buttons, patches, fabrics etc.) that are meaningful to you - not a requirement.

• Your imagination and enthusiasm!

About the Facilitator:

Elise has been sewing and crafting for the past 25 + years making anything from quilts and clothes to collages. She started hand embroidery over 5 years ago and hasn’t looked back since joining the Embroiders’ Guild of WA and becoming a member of the Gen Y group (who encourage new members). Over the past 4 years, Elise has been keen to share her knowledge and has run beginners embroidery workshops with youngsters. With a background in education, she is an experienced, friendly and above all patient teacher who will show you enough to carry on this beautiful craft with confidence.
