Visible Mending, Feb. 15 (Sat), 3-6pm, Brooklyn
Instructor: Sophia DeJesus-Sabella
Class Description:
Darning is the technique of mending a hole in cloth by stitching and interweaving yarn by hand. The process incorporates basic stitching and weaving to create beautiful, functional repairs. We will move through the mending process from start to finish, learning various stitches, weaving patterns, and experimenting with color along the way. In this 3-hour workshop, participants will learn the basics of visible mending by first practicing on provided fabric with a small cutout. If time allows, participants can start a second project to completed at home, either on a personal garment or a larger piece of fabric.
Level: Beginner

Cancellation policy:
Please consider carefully before signing up for one of our classes, loom rentals, or purchasing for a class for another person. Due to the small class size for in-person workshops and the limited number of looms, each person makes an important contribution to the group dynamic and cancelling within short notice can make it difficult to fill your spot. If you do need to cancel, please be aware of our policies:
If the cancellation is 30 or more days before the start of the workshop, you have the option of rescheduling or receiving a full refund minus a $25 processing fee. If the cancellation is fewer than 30 days from the start of the workshop, this results in forfeiture of your entire course fee. If your spot can be from the waitlist, then you will only pay the $25 processing fee, regardless of timing.
No refunds will be given on gift certificates. (Updated 05/05/2024)
