This Fall, our Sustainable Textile Teach-Ins are taking on the theme of Mending. This series coincides with the launch of our new Textile Learning Hub and Reuse Program which are all about providing accessibility to education and materials for sustainable textile practice. Take on some new skills through this online workshop series, then reserve a ticket to visit us in person and find deals on reused maker materials for your future projects!

In Mending with Patches, join Public Programming Assistant Allie Davis to learn a variety of introductory techniques for repairing clothing with hand sewing. In this virtual workshop, we will focus on sashiko stitch inspired mending; Allie will be demonstrating the technique on a favourite pair of jeans with a large hole, patching with a second-hand gingham fabric.

All skill levels and ages are welcome. Class size is limited, registration is required.   

You will receive the Zoom meeting access info in a confirmation email upon registration for this program.  A reminder email with complete details on required and optional preparation will be sent out in advance of the Teach-In.
