Mend Your Closet - SASHIKO PATCHES
We all have that favorite item in our closet that has gotten a bit too "holey" to wear out of the house. Come learn about the visible mending movement, and how to add artistic and visible patches to mend your own wardrobe with the Japanese practice of sashiko stitching! This is a beginner friendly course, we'll be using running stitch and blanket stitch to secure our patches and add a bit of mended beauty to each item. This program will be an introduction to sashiko stitching, and only exploring starter-level patterns.
Please bring 1-2 clothing items from your own closet for repair. Recommended items are woven textiles with little to no stretch, and nothing knitted or crocheted for this style of repair. Items made from linen/cotton/denim with with holes, rips, or threadbare areas of under 5 inches would be a great fit for this project! If you aren’t sure if your item can be fixed, please contact zvannostrand@gmail.com before hand and share pictures of your item.
Workshops led by Zoë Van Nostrand a.k.a. @sustainablespinster (Instagram). Zoë is an amateur, somewhat self taught, hand sewer and textile artivist from Mecklenburg NY.She has been mending her clothes (and her loved ones) for over 20 years. She considers mending a radical act against fast fashion and the global impacts of the textile industry, and a message of respect and reciprocity to the textile workers around the globe who make our clothes.
