Event Details

Join instructor Galina Carroll for free, hands-on workshops in which you will learn the timeless art of mending and up-cycling. Learn traditional Japanese Boro and Sashiko stitching, transform old garments into wearable art and give clothes a second life. Minimum sewing experience is needed -- just creativity and willingness needed to make something beautiful. Materials to bring to class: damaged sweater or other garment, sewing needles, scissors, scraps of fabric. Four sessions, countless stitches, endless possibilities! 

You must register separately for each class you would like to attend (click the links below). Register beginning Friday, Oct. 3. Space is limited.

Session 1: Darning with Simple Stitching

Session 2: Advanced Patching and Stitching Techniques

Session 3: Transforming Old Sweater into a New Hat

Session 4: Finalizing and Embellishing New Creations
