Visible Mending
Event description
Visible Mending Workshop – Give Your Clothes a Funky New Life!
Got a favourite piece of clothing that's seen better days? Don’t toss it—transform it! Join us for a fun and hands-on Visible Mending Workshop, where we’ll breathe new life into well-loved garments and turn wear and tear into unique, eye-catching designs.
Visible mending is all about embracing imperfections and making repairs a feature, not a flaw. Instead of hiding holes, stains, or worn-out fabric, we'll use bold stitching, colourful patches, and creative darning techniques to add personality and charm to your clothing. Whether it's reinforcing the elbows of a jacket, jazzing up a pair of jeans, or revamping a torn T-shirt, you'll learn how to make repairs that are as stylish as they are sustainable.
Perfect for beginners and seasoned stitchers alike, this workshop will cover:
🧵 Basic embroidery techniques
🧦 Darning methods for socks, jumpers, and more
🎨 Creative patchwork ideas to add flair to your clothes
♻️ Sustainable fashion tips to extend the life of your wardrobe
Bring along a piece of clothing that needs some love, and we’ll provide the materials, guidance, and inspiration to help you create something truly special. Join the slow fashion movement—one stitch at a time!
Morning tea provided.
