The class will run from 7pm - 9:30pm UK on the following dates:
Wednesday 14, 21 and 28 January 2026
Please note that there is no kit for this class.
The clothing industry has the second largest carbon footprint after fossil fuels. Because of this more and more people are turning to mending and repurposing their clothes to stop them going to landfill. Using the Japanese example of celebrating the repair rather than making it invisible, we will look at various methods for visible darning, making a feature of the moth holes, tears and worn patches of your well loved garments.
We will cover Sashiko patches, Appliqué, Visible Darning, Eyelets and other Surface Stitches using contrasting colours so the stitching shows. Soon your favourite clothes will all tell a new and unique story.
Please note that there is no kit with this class. so bring along your items that need mending, some colourful fabric for patches, some multi coloured threads, needles and scissors. This can be worked in the hand or in a small ring frame if you prefer. Your Zoom link will be sent a minimum of 48 hours prior to the class and will be sent to the email address you booked the class with. If you do not receive it, check your junk mail to see if it is there and if you still do not have it then please email [email protected]
You can explore many more stitches on the RSN Stitch Bank.
