Visible Mending Workshop

Join WMRC and Elise from Hoop Hoop Hooray for a visible mending workshop 🧵

Elise will show you how to extend the life of your clothing by incorporating hand stitching techniques like appliqué, embroidery, and sashiko into repairs. Through using these skills, you can keep items out of landfill and wear what you love for longer!

This workshop is perfect for beginners or those wanting to rediscover and build on forgotten skills to transform worn or damaged garments. Along with gaining practical sewing techniques, participants will be inspired to add personality and meaning to their clothes in creative ways while embracing a more sustainable approach to fashion 👕

Optional: Please feel free to bring along an item from home that needs repairing 🪡
