Clothes fraying? Jeans ripped? Too sentimental to trash it, or just too dang thrifty? Time to get mendy. Spend a day with Evelyn Brown (they/them) learning about the history of Japanese shashiko-style mending and try your hand at the durable, beautiful technique. Evelyn has been mending since childhood. They learned sewing from their mom and kept going from there!
What to expect: Evelyn will lead the group in a part-lecture part-hands-on introduction to the basics of visible mending in the shashiko style using scrap fabrics… so there is no pressure to get it right! All experience levels are welcome.
When and where: October 24th, 1 pm - 4 pm at 2302 East Gwinnett Street
What to bring: Just your smiling face. You are welcome to bring in your favorite piece that needs a mend so we can take a look, though we won’t work on personal items at this first session (hint: future class!). All tools and materials will be provided.
