Students should have basic hand sewing skills, & know how to thread a needle and tie a knot.

In a world of clothing being discarded because of wear and tear I have another solution-- mend or stitch the wear and tear creatively. Use decorative embroidery floss to basket weave a hole closed, or open the hole up with a blanket stitch. In this course you will learn the basic stitches, favorite embroidery floss, needles to use, and 'to use or not to use' an embroidery hoop.

Practice sustainability and give new life to your cherished textiles. Mending matters is a course in slow hand stitching to repair and create interesting ways of adding stitching to enhance or cover up holes in textiles so that the textile can be used, reused and revived.

Bring a project/textile that has wear and tear or holes that you would like to enhance by stitching. I will supply needles, 1 spool of thread per student and 1 embroidery hoop per student. If you have thread you want to use bring it. If you sew with a thimble, bring it as well. Please bring your own scissors, I will not supply those. If you want to share your textiles we welcome all kinds of examples so we can brainstorm how to mend them.
