Repair PDX: Learn to Darn!

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

Join us Nov 19th from 6-8pm at Leaven Community Center to learn how to darn your clothes! 

Darning is a kind of mending used for knitwear primarily. Mending is something we can all do, saving clothes from the landfill and healing our hearts in the process. Mending is a meditative, slow process that improves with practice.

Sivia will teach several methods during this workshop that you can use right away to start darning your socks, sweaters, and other knitwear. These darning techniques can also be used for mending other garments.

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!
