About This Activity
Hand sewing, darning, fixing, and mending clothing are age-old, keystone human skills. Patches can be made to be beautiful as well as functional. Needles and thread can always be made from naturally-harvested organic material, while sewing comprehension with industrial supplies remains invaluable in the modern world. Fix it, use it, wear it out-make it do. Learn the vital art of sewing, darning and mending. We’ll study crosshatch hole mending, and then employ a few simple stitches to create a functional cloth pouch. Bring your holy garments! We have an assortment of yarns and fabrics, and we will fix as much as we can. If your garment requires a specific type of fabric or fiber, please bring it.
