What: A two hour workshop guiding you through the basics of creative textile mending techniques.
When: Saturday 10th August from 3PM-5PM (though allow a little extra time on the end in case you get really into it!
Are your clothes in need of a little TLC? Perhaps you have a beloved shirt that's wearing a bit thin at the elbows, or a pair of jeans that fit just right, but are letting in a bit too much breeze on the knees? If so, we can help!
Join us on 25th July for a crafty mending session with Faith Eliott (they/them), a textile artist and maker based in Edinburgh.
In this evening workshop, you'll be led through how to mend, upcycle and embellish garments using hand-sewing, sashiko & patching techniques. In addition, you'll learn some basic embroidery stitches, with the option of trying some more complex ones if you feel confident to do so.
You are more than welcome to bring something of your own to mend or upcycle! However, if you don't have something in particular, don't worry, there will be lots of fabrics available to play around with.
Tickets are £20, or £15 if you are a student / on a low income / currently skint. Just choose the ticket that best fits your needs!
