Have you ever wanted to learn how to repair your clothes? Do you have a shirt that needs some TLC? Or a pair of jeans with one too many holes?
Then join us to learn how to repair your clothes whilst injecting colour into your garments from the comfort of your own home!
In this online workshop via zoom our textile repair technician will teach you how to repair your garments whilst adding colour using bright threads. You have the option of your repair to stand out by using a different colour of thread, or make the repair almost invisible by matching the thread to the item. This workshop is accessible to sewing beginners and any size hole can be repaired.
What do I need to join the workshop?
- A sewing needle
- A spare piece of fabric 3cm bigger in all directions than the hole. Preferably of the same quality of fabric. eg. denim for jeans, jersey for t-shirts. Colour is not important if you prefer an invisible mend.
- Thread. Preferably something a bit thicker than sewing thread. Alternatively, use two strands of sewing thread together. Example: 2 strands of cotton embroidery thread, which comes in small hanks. It needs to fit in your sewing needle.
Optional: a few sewing pins, contrasting thread for holding the patch in place, something rounded to-keep under the patch such as an apple, a ladle or darning egg/mushroom.
