Creative Mending for Knits • Tuesday, June 6, 10 am-1 pm; REGISTRATION CLOSED

Tuesday, June 6, 10 am – 1 pm

Tasha Miller Griffith

Learn skills for mending knitted fabrics – everything from hand-knit sweaters and socks to store bought T-shirts. Learn at least three different techniques for mending knits including duplicate stitch for invisible and decorative fixes, hand stitches that stretch for patches and hems, and needle felting. Everyone is welcome, from beginners to fiber artists looking for ways to extend the life of their handmade garments. Mending our knitwear can be a gateway to creative expression, as well as a way to care for our textiles, the people we love, and our planet. Materials fee is $15, payable to the instructor, and includes needles, fabric samples, threads, and small tools to use in class.
