Mend and Repair Weekend: Stitching, Darning and Repairing

Join Anna Tuhus for this workshop that will explore use of six basic hand sewing stitches, using them to create personal motifs and patterns, learning darning, mending and patchwork techniques for textile and garment repairs.

Participants are encouraged to bring any belongings in need of repair, to learn new ways of creative mending. Examples are:

• Jeans and denim
• Socks and tights
• Jumpers
