About this event

  • 1 hour 30 minutes

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners or anyone that already sews but would like to add to their sewing skills. Come along to learn some simple ways to extend the life of your clothes, accessories and favourite pieces.

Mending techniques covered in this class are:

  • How to sew on a button.
  • How to repair a small hole in a sock, jumper or knitted garment
  • How to hand stitch a hem.

You will get to do some samples to learn each technique. Each person will get a small sewing kit to keep, to continue your mending and sewing at home.
