When our favourite textile items rip or tear it can be tempting to just throw it out and buy something new to replace it. However, the UK produces over 206 tonnes of textile waste every year, this figure could be reduced if we changed our habits and considered the possibility of mending our textile items instead of throwing them out! There are lots of creative and fun ways you can mend and repair textile items. During this workshop you will join textile artist Elnaz to learn how to mend your textile items using a method called darning! Darning is a sewing technique used for repairing holes or worn areas of fabric or knitting using needle and thread by hand. This technique can be both functional and decorative! Darning is extremely mindful and rewarding to do as you will come away from the workshop feeling proud that you have extended the life of your favourite textile item. Please bring along an item of clothing that needs mending to the workshop for example a t-shirt, jumper, jeans or socks that have a hole or rip in. All other materials for the workshop are included. Who is the workshop for? The workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as those with some sewing experience, all levels are welcome. This workshop also makes a wonderful gift for family and friends. Just print off the ticket and pop it in a card! Hot drinks & biscuits included. We are really looking forward to welcoming you in.
