This is a fun activity in Wolverton, Milton Keynes
In this workshop, you acquire the skills to repair your beloved garments, ensuring their longevity and sustainability. You will learn how to choose the right methods of repair, select suitable yarn, and utilise darning tools like a darning mushroom. Through TV hands-on practise, you'll master techniques such as simple weave repair, duplicate stitch for reinforcement, and decorative mending using colour and embroidery stitches. A very wide range of colours are available to colour match your garment should you want to try your hand at an invisible darn.
- Discover the appropriate repair method for your knitwear
- Select the correct yarn for the job
- Learn to use darning tools effectively
- Master simple weave repair and duplicate stitch
- Understand how to incorporate colour and embroidery for decorative mending
Please bring along your damaged knitted items, and though you may not complete multiple repairs during the session, you'll receive guidance on mending the remaining pieces. If you lack items for repair, a practise item can be provided.
By the end of the class, you'll leave with newfound skills, a beautifully repaired garment, and a sense of accomplishment. Private sessions and one-on-one classes are available for those seeking a more personalised experience. Please note that my friendly Labrador dog may be present, so consider this if you have allergies or preferences.
