Creative Mending: The Basket Darning Method
Give your worn-out clothes new life with style! Join us for a one-night, hands-on workshop where you’ll learn the art of basket darning—a beautiful and functional technique for mending holes in clothing.
Bring a shirt or pair of pants with a hole, and we’ll guide you step-by-step through transforming that flaw into a unique, visible design using colorful threads and the classic basket weave method. No prior sewing experience needed—just a willingness to stitch, play, and experiment!
What you’ll learn:
-Basics of visible mending
-The basket darning stitch technique
-How to turn holes into bold, creative statements
All tools and materials provided (except the garment) However, if you don’t have something that needs mending, we can provide you with materials to learn this mending technique.
Bring a shirt or pants with a hole, leave with a one-of-a-kind repair you’ll be proud to show off. Whether you’re mending for sustainability, sentimentality, or just for fun, this workshop will leave you inspired to repair rather than replace—and to do it with style.
