Mindful Mending Circle

This session is all about holes, patching, slow stitching, and visible mending — a calming practice that transforms imperfections.

11:30 am – 12:15 pm

This calming, creative session is all about holes, patching, slow stitching, fusing, reinforcement, and visible mending — a beautifully mindful practice that transforms imperfections into something meaningful and personal.

Whether your garments have wear and tear or you simply love the aesthetic of visible mending, this workshop gently teaches you how to slow down, stitch with intention, and create repairs that feel like art.

What You’ll Learn

In this 45-minute session, you’ll explore:

• How to repair holes neatly and cleanly
• Patch reinforcement
• Basic hand-stitching
• Darning techniques for thinning or worn areas
• How to use colour, thread, and texture for visible mending
• Slow stitching as a mindfulness practice
• Simple ways to refresh and revive old garments
• Stabilising delicate or stretched fabrics
• How to use fusing for clean support and structure

These approachable techniques work for denim, tees, shirts, kids’ clothes, linen, and most woven fabrics.
