Bring your tired, your poor, your huddled masses of clothing that need some love! Claire Beaumont and Evan Franz travel the country repairing clothing and teaching people how to extend the life of their clothes.
In this workshop we will explore various hand-sewing techniques to darn and patch knit and woven garments. No shame if you want to test your invisible mending skills or fly your freak flag and highlight all of your bumps and bruises! Bringing fabric scraps/old clothes for patching is encouraged!
