Visible Mending

Self-taught mending enthusiast Ollie Cultrara will guide participants in three basic visible mending techniques for patching and darning your own items.

Participants should bring their own materials, including:

• Cloth item to mend,
• Sewing needle,
• Thread and/or embroidery floss,
• Fabric of similar texture for patching (a spare sock or scrap of fabric can work),
• Scissors

Optional:

• Sewing pins,
• Embroidery hoop or firm object (like a glass jar) to place behind your sewing,
• Rubber band to hold fabric in place over the firm object
