🧵✨ Mending Workshop – Repair with Care! ✨🧵
Fast fashion encourages disposable clothing, but we’re here to change that! Let’s mend our wardrobes together. Bring your clothes with holes and learn how to darn to give them a second life.
🧵 What you’ll learn:
- How to mend holes using the darning technique
- The importance of textile sustainability
- How small actions can help reduce fast fashion waste
If you’re passionate about sustainability, slow consumption, and creative repair, then this workshop is for you! If you can't make it to this workshop, there will be a second mending workshop where you will learn how to mend using patchwork and sashiko techniques! More details will be posted soon.
Open to the public, all skill levels are welcomed, and materials will be provided.
