Mending Workshops at Craft Scotland Show

Learn How to Creatively Darn Your Old Jumper

I'm very excited to announce that as part of the Craft Scotland Summer Show I will be taking two visible mending workshops. 

Three different techniques you can use to mend your knitwear.

Loved Clothes Last

Visible Mending is a great way to keep your favourite pieces of knitwear lasting longer, while giving them a slightly new look. I love that mended pieces can be fun, and they change as time goes on, much as we do ourselves. My aim for this mending workshop is to give you the tools to repair your knitwear and make it last longer- so I think of it as a zero waste workshop in a way! 

Bring your favourite jumper back to life with creative Visible Mending

Bring your favourite jumper (or other knitwear) back to life with creative visible mending. With the aim of reducing waste and throwaway clothes, I will teach you how to mend your old knitwear in a creative way. I will guide you through the basics of darning, swiss darning and decorative embroidery stitches to enable you to creatively mend your piece of knitwear. Materials and refreshments provided (but do please bring your holey jumper or hat or gloves with you!). 

Visible Mending Workshop Information

Mending Workshops will be on Tuesday 7th August and Monday 20th August at 1.30pm.

You will also be able to see my work as part of the Craft Scotland Summer Show itself, on from the 3-16th August in White Stuff, George Street, Edinburgh.
