  • Age range: 12+

  • Five techniques covered: woven darning, sashiko patch, appliqué patch, blanket stitch edge repair, and boro-style layered patching

  • Skill level: Beginner to intermediate

Every hole tells a story, this workshop teaches you to answer back. In this hands-on class, you'll learn five foundational hand-mending techniques and stitch each one onto a sampler cloth to take home as a personal reference guide. No sewing machine, no perfectionism required, just needle, thread, and a willingness to make your mends beautiful instead of invisible. By the end, you'll have a working library of repairs you can turn to for the rest of your mending life, plus the confidence to fix (and love) worn clothes instead of tossing them.
