Repair PDX: Mending with Embroidery Workshop

  • Leaven Community 5431 NE 20th Ave Portland, OR 97211 (map)

Want to learn to mend your items with embroidery!? 

Join Repair PDX on Mar 30th from 6-8pm at Leaven Community Center!

This small hands-on class will be focused on repairing holes, reinforcing fabric, and re-making button holes or areas of loose stitching. You will learn how to repair a garment of your own (or practice on scrap fabric) using a variety of visible mending and embroidery techniques. We will not be covering the Japanese art of Sashiko embroidery mending as we offer other classes for this specifically.

You will leave knowing how to repair your personal items and you'll get a book of stitches and some take-home supplies for your personal mending projects!

We recommend bringing items with a looser weave and minimal stretch. All skill levels are welcome, and we encourage you to bring your own items to work on, though we also provide practice items. All materials provided & you will go home with a little mending kit!
