Thinking about our Visible Mending Workshop but worried you've never sewn before?

You're exactly who this workshop is for.

You do NOT need to know:
❌ embroidery
❌ sewing
❌ mending
❌ textile arts

You just need:
✅ a garment that needs a little help
✅ curiosity
✅ willingness to learn

Robin will guide participants through the basics step-by-step, and all materials are provided.

Many people come to visible mending because they have a favorite sweater, pair of jeans, or shirt they aren't ready to part with. This workshop will give you practical skills to help extend the life of those items while adding a creative touch.

Everyone starts somewhere. 🧵
