Program Description

Event Details

Learn how to embroider text with the Fiber Arts Workroom. We'll be learning the split stitch and Quaker stitch. 

So often we stop wearing an item clothing or even give it away, once it gets a rip, stain, or when we lose a button or two. Whether you come from a time when your parents or grandparents would mend their clothes out of necessity or in a world where fast fashion is convenient and cheap, visible mending, and mending in general, extends the life of clothing and reduces textile waste. It's also an opportunity to customize your clothing. Best of all, there is really no way to mess up. 

Grab an item of clothing, embroidery floss, and needle and tune in every other Wednesday for a visible mending workshop and demo!

This program is available online only.
