Mending & Repair Workshop

Extend the life of your wardrobe with timeless hand sewing & repair techniques.

Our clothes tell stories—of moments lived, memories made, and craftsmanship valued. When a favourite piece shows signs of wear, mending becomes an act of care, a way to honour what we own and wear that treasured piece for years to come.

This hands-on workshop will equip you with essential repair skills to keep your most-loved garments in rotation. You'll learn practical techniques including darning, invisible stitching for small holes, secure button attachment, and decorative patching—foundational skills that empower you to mend with confidence at home.

What You'll Learn:

• Darning techniques for repairing worn fabric
• Quick, discreet stitches for closing small holes
• How to sew buttons securely
• Decorative patching to transform damage into detail
