✨ Learn the Art of Visible Mending

In this hands-on workshop, you'll discover the beauty of visible mending through embroidery. Bring your own torn or worn-down piece of clothing and learn how to mend it with charming embroidery designs. We'll cover:

  • Satin and Buttonhole Stitches: Master these essential stitches to create beautiful and durable repairs.
  • Basic Sashiko: Explore the traditional Japanese technique of decorative reinforcement stitching.
  • Decorative Stitches: Learn the fly and lazy daisy stitches to add flair to your mending projects.


🛠️ All-Inclusive Supplies and Instructions

Just bring the clothing you’d like to repair. Don't worry about gathering the other supplies—we've got everything you need. You’ll get to use:

  • Embroidery needles and thread in every color
  • Basic thread for basting
  • Heat erase pens/chalk
  • Rulers and hoops
  • Scraps/backing fabric for larger tears

Plus, you'll receive 1:1 attention and step-by-step handouts so you can continue your new skill at home.


🎨 Unleash Your Creativity

Visible mending is more than just a repair—it's a form of self-expression. Our workshop encourages you to infuse your unique style into each stitch, turning ordinary garments into extraordinary works of art. Expect plenty of laughter, fun, and camaraderie.
