It's a Wardrobe Mending Double Feature Day in the POST studio! Join us for Denim Mending, Knit Mending, or both to receive a little discount!
10am-1pm DENIM The morning session will focus on repairing denim staples with the centuries old art of Sashiko and Boro mending. Everyone will try various stitches and learn how to choose techniques that will make a strong, long-lasting repair. We’ll cover best practices with a variety of denim and linen fabrics available for patching and stabilizing your pieces. Please bring your own clothing to mend and any preferred patching fabric you may have. Jeans, chinos, denim skirts/jackets, chambray shirts all work great! Everyone will recieve sashiko needles, threads, floss, and a take-home booklet.
1pm-2pm LUNCH Please bring a lunch or plan to add onto to an order from local favorite, The Sprout House. Our cafe will also be open all day, with Honey Dirt Coffee serving drinks and treats.
2pm-5pm KNITS The afternoon session will focus on Needle Felting. Whether you’re looking to mend moth holes, fill in worn elbows, repair small snags, or simply want to add some pizzazz to that drab old sweater - you are going to love Needle Felting! This workshop will introduce you to visible and invisible mending techniques for use on most knits. Needle felting works well on wool, cashmere, alpaca, and most cotton, acrylic, silk, and linens blends too. A variety of roving and fabrics will be provided for practice. We encourage you to bring in your own knits as well. Everyone will take home a needle felting kit and a take-home booklet.
