Bring clothes to mend, patch or embroider! Upcycle! Embellish! Beginners welcome.

$20/person • All materials included.

Bring your own clothes that need mending or just need some character. Emma will have needles, hoops, thread, and fabric. If you don’t know how to stitch, Emma will teach you! This will be a mellow, create-whatever-you-can-imagine workshop.

For clothing: anything denim or canvas is great as long as it isn’t lined with another layer of fabric. Stretchier knits like sweatshirts and activewear work too, but the stretchier the fabric is, the more generally difficult embroidering on it can be. If your fabric is tricky, we can get you started on making a patch for it as an alternative to stitching directly on the fabric. For mending, we can tackle any size wear or tear that needs patching or reinforcing.

This workshop will be held at Volta Climbing Gym.
