One three-hour session on Saturday

So many Yarn Farm Friends ask us about visible mending, and for good reason! Use sewing techniques to mend, beautify and sustain your garments and textile treasures. Brilliant!

You will learn these techniques with hands-on practice in class:

• Running stitch (with or without thimble)

• Patching (raw or with a neat edge)

• Applique

• Reverse applique

• Woven patch (without a loom)

• Embroidery

It’s indeed a lot, and we’ll move steadily through the techniques. You may not try every single one yourself in class but you’ll certainly do 2-3 of them, and you’ll have what you need to keep practicing and mending at home, including a materials kit (value $40-50) included in your class fee. In class we’ll also go through the range of tools that can be helpful. But to start you don’t need very much!

Teacher: Jocelyn Songco
Class fee $100 including materials.

Materials provided (illustrative and valued at a min of $40): variety of cloth (cotton, linen and wool), sashiko embroidery floss, DMC embroidery floss, needles, stick and stitch for  embroidery. Not included: thimble, darning egg, or embroidery hoop.

During your course, you may shop with a 10% discount on full-price items (some limited items are excluded from this discount) on the dates your class meets.

Note: In February we are offering this class in two formats. A single three-hour session and a two-session course (each 90 min). We hope one of these suits your schedule! If you’d like more time to practice techniques, consider the two-session format so you have time between sessions to practice the techniques from the first half of the course. Bear in mind that the two-session course meets on Thursday evenings. There may be chatter from the bar during the class. If this will disturb you, please consider the Saturday class.

Minimum 2 people to confirm the class, maximum of 6 students total. If we don’t reach the minimum of two students by 3 days before the date of the first class we’ll refund your purchase in full. Read and understand our Class Policies here.
