Visible Mending: Woven + Knit repairs

Continue exploring the art of visible mending in this hands-on workshop focused on expanding your repair skills across different types of fabric. In this class, we’ll begin with a review of the interior patch technique used to mend woven fabrics like denim—making this workshop welcoming and accessible for those who are new to visible mending as well as those who attended the first session.

From there, we’ll move into new territory: learning how to patch and reinforce knit fabrics. Knits present their own unique challenges and possibilities, and you’ll learn thoughtful, practical techniques for repairing holes while honoring the stretch and structure of the fabric. As always, we’ll approach mending as both repair and creative expression, using color, line, and pattern to turn wear into intentional design.

Whether you’re repairing well-loved jeans, your favorite t-shirt , or simply building confidence with needle and thread, this workshop invites you to slow down, learn useful skills, and see your garments with fresh eyes. No prior experience is required.

All materials—including patches, thread, needles, and fabric samples—will be provided.
