Mending All Around, Knit Fabrics

You asked for it, here it is! This is an additional mending class. If you enjoyed the original class, this would take your skills even further.

Mending All Around: Woven Fabrics is not required to take this additional mending class. We are covering how to mend knits and stretchy (knit) fabric items (sox, sweaters, t-shirts, etc.) No experience necessary, don’t worry we can teach you! If you have experience and just want to be more confident and learn new techniques on non-woven-knit materials this class is for you too! 

In this class we will go over darning sox, fixing moth holes/rips in sweaters, t-shirts or your favorite yoga pants. This class will focus more on the best stitches to use for this, how mending on knit fabrics is different from woven fabrics and how to incorporate color and applique designs. And finally how to care for your mended item.
