Join us for a leisurely night of mending at Production Mode!

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.

This workshop is intended to be fun and relaxing, for absolute beginners and experienced sewists alike. Come out for an enjoyable evening while learning a new skill. Drinks (cocktails & NA options) and light snacks will be provided.

DETAILS:

-Workshop is open to all levels.

-Bring your damaged garment. For best results, choose garments with holes smaller than 1”x1”. However, if you have a chunky knit (like a warm sweater), then the holes can be a little bigger (2”x2” max for best results).

-If you don’t have a damaged garment to practice on, no worries! We can give you a sample to use to practice.

-Materials for repair will be provided, although you are more than welcome to bring your own thread or yarn.

-Cost is $45 per attendee.

-All sales are final.
