Lucy Leith, designer and Production Mode’s mending expert will lead a small group (10 ppl max) through the basics of darning.

What is darning?

Darning is the act of repairing a torn or worn out piece of cloth by hand, weaving new threads into the old. It is a surprisingly simple mending technique that works great for small holes, like in worn out socks, chunkier knits, jeans, and moth-eaten sweaters, without the need for additional fabric patches.

Lucy will provide a demo, physical examples and diagrams to follow along, and guidance while you repair your own garments.
