Discover the art of visible mending in this engaging workshop designed for parents and their school-aged children. Instead of hiding repairs, visible mending celebrates the story of your clothing, turning rips and holes into unique, stylish statements. This session covers mending techniques for woollen, stretchy, and woven fabrics, including jeans.
You'll explore sashiko, embroidery, and weaving mends, gaining skills to breathe new life into your moth-chomped or ripped garments. This is a wonderful opportunity to teach your children the value of sustainability and creativity in fashion.
Light refreshments will be provided to keep you energized as you work on your projects.
This workshop runs on Friday, 29 May 2026, from 09:30 to 12:00. It is a free event hosted at the Good Food Emporium. Bring along any clothing items that need mending to practice your new skills.
