Learn traditional darning methods with a twist. We'll be looking at different darning techniques, perfect to cover up small to medium sized holes and stains in any kind of fabric, be it fine knit or jersey or even strong woven fabrics like denim.

Meret will introduce you to the versatility of darning and how repairing your item can add to its originality. Whether you go subtle and use the same colour yarn as your garment to create your patch or you go for a bold, colourful contrast to create a woven statement piece, is up to you. No matter what you choose, this crafty and easy method will absolutely revive your favourite garments. Just bring an item in need of mending, all other materials will be provided.

What to expect:

  • A mending workshop suitable for beginners

  • Learn how to darn clothing items

This repair method is best for smaller holes and stains! If you're unsure if your item is suitable, feel free to contact your host Meret for clarification.
