SUMMARY:Textile Workshop | Visible Mending
DESCRIPTION:Practice sustainability and extend the life of your textiles with artist\, teacher\, and author of Mending Matters and Make Thrift Mend\, Katrina Rodabaugh. This workshop explores basic stitches and patterns; how to repair a garment based on  fabric\, thread\, utility\, beauty\, design elements\, and more; and culminates in the chance to repair a garment in need of mending. Basic sewing and stitching skills are required.  \nWe will provide 100% cotton thread\, metal needles\, wooden ruler\, and a handout. Participants may bring personal tools or use the provided shared tools.   \nPlease bring: \n\nA textile made of woven fabric to mend: denim\, linen\, and cotton are great choices\, as well as household textiles like quilts\, tea towels\, and tableclothes. This class will not cover stretchy fabrics like leggings or t-shirts. \nPatches of the same fiber and weight as the textile you wish to mend. \nSimilar weight yarn\, a tapestry needle\, and darning egg if you wish to bring a knitted garment. \n\n  \nOur hands-on Textile Workshops highlight the essential role textiles play in everyday life — from our clothes to our home and building interiors — and aim to educate about and inspire sustainable textile choices that are healthier for the environment and the garment supply chain.
