Description

Join us for an evening of sewing. We will have our lab's machines set up and staff will be on hand to show you the basics. You can bring a project you've been working on, or just stop by to practice your stitches.

This week we'll have a visible mending demo by guest instructor Nettie Tiso. Visible mending is the deliberate showing of contrast stitching (and it's also at the heart of the Japanese technique of Sashiko). Traditionally used to reinforce points of wear, or to repair worn places or tears with patches, this running stitch technique is often used for purely decorative purposes in quilting and embroidery.

We welcome all skill levels, no prior knowledge is necessary. You are free to bring your own sewing machine and join our growing sewing community.
