This class will help you learn how to mend your jeans and celebrate the wear and tear of everyday use! Perfect for those ripped jeans you can't let go of, or a chance to personalize your look and get creative! You will learn several visible mending techniques in this class including stitch patterning. If you can thread a needle, you can mend!
Please bring a pair of jeans (or two) that you'd like to mend or add to. This class will help you complete at least one mend or patch. Be prepared to experiment with color, shapes, and lines!
Material cost includes your very own mending kit. Scrap fabric will be provided, but feel free to bring your own. Small scraps and old clothing scraps welcome!
This is a hand-sewing class appropriate for ages 14+. Some experience with hand sewing is helpful, but not necessary.
