Darn It! Learning to Mend Workshop

  • Studio Mooi 926 Kingston Road Toronto, ON, M4E 1S5 Canada (map)

Workshop Description

10/24/24 | 6:30pm to 9pm
Allie Davis (they/them)
In our Darn It! Learning to Mend Workshop, Allie will teach you the darning stitch: weave beautiful patches into your garments and decorate them, or use matching yarn to disguise a small hole. You will also have the opportunity to try mending with needle-felting techniques, and learn the basics of a darning loom!
Please bring: -Any garment in need of mending, especially knitwear (IE: tshirts, socks, sweaters, hats, and mittens).
-Your darning tool; this doesn’t have to be a fancy darning egg or mushroom, it can be anything that fits inside the garment to act as a support. Lightbulbs, jars, scrap wood, and even oranges can be great darning tools.
-If you have a particular matching or beautiful yarn
AGE APPROPRIATENESS: 14+
LEVEL: Beginner, no previous experience necessary
