Do you have clothing with rips, stains, or holes that you'd like to mend? Join Mariko Sugimori for an introduction to visible mending, where you'll learn creative techniques like patching and darning to breathe new life into your well-loved garments.
These new skills will help you curate a more sustainable wardrobe by extending the life of your clothing and keeping items out of the landfill. This course welcomes people of all skill levels. All necessary mending supplies for creating a visible mending sampler will be provided.
You are also welcome to bring any items of clothing that are in need of mending, but that’s not required.
About the teacher:
Mariko Sugimoris father, who is Japanese, instilled in him the concept of Mottainai, which roughly translates to "what a waste." It is a phrase commonly used in Japanese to express regret of throwing something away when it still holds value. This combined with a love for fiber arts has led Mariko where they are today with visible mending.
