About the event
Join supportive and friendly teacher Tessa as you learn skills you need to practice mending your loved items of clothing.
Tickets from £15. PLEASE REGISTER HERE.
The hand-stitching skills you will learn with Tessa can be applied to all types of clothing, including knitwear, jeans, sweats, and shirts. During this hand sewing class you will learn:
* How to use embroidery threads
* Three stitches to get you started on creating your own designs
* Materials for applying a design to fabric
* How to use patches to repair
* How to finish your work for a neat result and wearability.
Please bring an item along for mending advice or to practice on.
Please note this is not a Visible Darning class. I will not be covering darning techniques for knitwear in this workshop
* Beginners, please avoid bringing highly stretchy items such as lycra sportwear or delicate fabrics as they can be difficult to sew.
