Visible Mending

Got holes?? In this laidback workshop we'll learn how to mark and patch our fabric, practice making even stitches, and work towards mending a favorite worn or torn item of clothing that participants bring with them. We'll reinforce knees and elbows, add beauty and patches to collars and hems, and enjoy the slow and meditative stitching that is Visible Mending (AKA Sashiko Stitching or Boro). Please bring something that’s worn, torn, or otherwise in need of repair. Best to bring non-stretchy fabric – denim, cotton, or linen. Everything else will be provided!Embroidery artist Cari Roberts from https://www.instagram.com/the.stitch.sitch/ invites you to slow down, stitch traditional patterns using time-honored methods, and to relax and play with needle and thread.
