I’m thrilled to be leading a Creative Mending workshop on 9/30 at Studio by the Tracks in Irondale, AL! Registration will open soon.

We’ll learn techniques to be used for patching, mending and reinforcing beloved worn clothing. Techniques can be used for both inconspicuous mends, as well as bold visible mending. This workshop will focus on woven fabrics, like linen, cotton and denim, and not knit or stretch fabrics.

Participants will need to select 1 garment that needs some love, with the space needing repair measuring no more than about 3 x 3 inches. The knees or back pockets of denim, button plackets, or the worn elbows of a shirt are perfect for this.

Aaron will provide naturally dyed and vintage fabric scraps for patching, along with necessary marking tools, threads and mending notions. Participants are highly encouraged to bring fabrics and threads that are special to them to utilize in their mending as well.

Materials:
