£100.00
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 on your well loved garments.
We will cover Sashiko patches, Applique, 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.
No experience is necessary for this class and there will be plenty of opportunity during the class to ask the Tutor questions.
You can explore many more stitches on the RSN Stitch Bank.
Please note this is an onsite class which will run from 10am-4pm at Hampton Court Palace, East Molesey, Surrey KT8 9AU.
