Visible Mending

Description

Discover the art of visible mending, a technique that highlights a mend with darning and embroidery using contrasting colours to show the beauty of an imperfection. You may have moth holes in jumpers, holes in socks or a stain that will not wash out, or you may wish to refresh an item with some stitch and colour. You will be guided through the process of visible mending, darning and embroidery. You will then be able to create truly beautiful pieces and bring your beloved item back to life. All equipment and materials are supplied. This is a hand sewing workshop so a small amount of hand sewing experience is necessary. ABOUT SUSTAINABLE FASHION WEEK - 26th September to 4th October Clothes matter. Clothes are essential for functionality, but they are also a way we can present ourselves and our personalities to the world. But it matters how clothing is produced as it has such a significant impact on both people and planet. Sustainable Fashion Week is an annual event helping to raise awareness and make sustainable fashion accessible through community engagement. Taking a creative, grass roots approach, the movement will seek to empower people with skills and knowledge to help drive positive change in our relationship with clothes.
