Don't toss that favorite sweater or t-shirt just because of a small hole! Join us for this practical workshop where you'll learn simple, effective techniques to repair and restore your beloved knits.
We'll cover how to mend small holes in t-shirts and lightweight knits, plus learn the art of darning for visible mending worn areas in heavier knits. Darning may sound intimidating, but it's really just a clever weaving technique done with a needle and thread—no fancy equipment needed! You'll create a woven patch by running your thread back and forth across the damaged area, building up rows that interlock to form a strong, seamless repair.
This is a no-fuss approach to mending that uses just a needle, thread, and simple household items you already have at home. Whether you're fixing a moth hole in your favorite cardigan or reinforcing the worn elbow of a cozy sweater, you'll leave with the skills and confidence to extend the life of your wardrobe. We’ll first work on a sampler to introduce you to the various mending techniques, than you can spend the rest of class working on a repair you brought from home!
Perfect for beginners and anyone looking to make their clothes last longer!
