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.

Lovely couple of hours spent learning how to weave visible patches to mend clothing. Friendly host, very relaxed atmosphere, very enjoyable! I feel very inspired to fix holes in everything I can lay my hands on.
