Visible Mending Workshop Series

🪡 Join Olga and her team from Studio Thimbles to learn how to use visible mending to fix and revive your items! 🧵 This workshop series is designed to teach you some practical mending skills and encourage you to get creative and personalise your clothing 👕.

Over the two workshops, you will be covering:

• Fundamental skills for hand sewing such as setting up the needle, tying proper knots and how to start & finish your stitching
• Various hand-stitching methods that are essential for mending
• How to do embroidery stitching to add decorative elements to the mending process
• Elements of Sashiko stitching, a traditional Japanese technique that is popular in the world of visible mending 

❗Please note, this is a 2-part workshop series and attendees are expected to attend both workshops ❗
