Visible Mending Workshop
Come learn simple mending techniques to repair and revive worn clothingAbout this experience
You have a favorite sweater with worn spots on the elbows or worse, moth holes. Or maybe you blew out the knees on your favorite jeans. What to do? Come learn simple mending techniques to repair and revive worn clothing so that you can enjoy that cozy sweater or wear those jeans again. Join artist Suzi Banks Baum for an afternoon of peaceable stitching on Saturday, November 2nd at the Side Project Gallery. Suzi will teach simple stitch techniques and help you design a colorful way to repair a garment. Bring your clean garments* in need of mending to enjoy the company of other stitchers with guidance from Suzi. She will have a trove of plant dyed and other fun fabric scraps to share. Embroidery floss, scissors, and needles will be provided.
*Please note that wool items must be clean and be placed inside a plastic bag in the freezer for at least 3 days to ensure there are no wool moth larvae in the garment.
