MENDING: The Art of Sashiko Repairs

Visible mending uses thread, embroidery, or patchwork to highlight a repair as art. Learn the basics of sashiko stitching and one-on-one mending techniques to create one-of-a-kind pieces.

What you need to bring: Your damaged knits or wovens: slacks, skirts, trousers (non-denim), shirts or jackets with buttons missing (bring the buttons if you have them) or torn, well-loved clothes.
