I’m gathering materials and creating sample pieces for the first session of program “Darn it”. These examples will introduce the art of mending in a fun and approachable way.

Introduction to Darning with Simple Stitching, October 17, 10am-12pm

The first session focuses on basic stitching and mending techniques. Participants will learn how to repair garments with simple stitches that are both functional and beautiful.

 You’ll discover how small, repetitive stitches can transform ordinary fabric into a unique work of art.

This hands-on practice will help to each participant to enhance garments with their own creative patterns.
