Ready to breathe new life into your favorite garments and reduce textile waste?
Join our Visible Mending Workshop, where creativity meets sustainability. Led by the talented and eco-conscious Eilidh Weir, you’ll discover the art of “stitching, not ditching” while contributing to a greener planet. During the workshop, you’ll master essential mending techniques like darning, decorative and invisible repairs, and creative patching. You’ll also learn practical skills to extend the life of anything from cozy socks to cherished clothing—and even furniture.
This workshop is for absolutely anyone! Whether you’re a complete beginner or already handy with a needle, it’s perfect for anyone who believes in reducing waste and adding a personal touch to their belongings. Bring along your worn-out favorites—wool sweaters, beloved trousers, or other items you’d like to restore. If you don’t have anything to mend, no problem! We’ll provide samples so you can practice and leave equipped to tackle future mending projects with confidence.
