Visible mending is a relaxing, mindful, creative course playfully repairing and recycling clothing. We will explore different techniques for mending clothing, using experimental stitching and improvised mending.
You can enjoy personalising your own clothing through stitching, extend the story, flag the beloved oldness, and render your clothing priceless to you! You will be encouraged to evolve your own sewing style and gain skills for mending and embellishing your own clothes at home, in a mindful and creative way, with upcycling and sustainability at the heart of the process.
What to bring: Please bring an item of clothing that is in need of upcycling
