Location: Lower Porch - Hop & Hen Farm

Settle in for a relaxed, hands on workshop devoted to the art of visible mending. Bring a well loved garment you’d like to save—a sweater with a worn elbow, a shirt that deserves a second life—and learn how to repair it in a way that’s both sturdy and beautifully intentional.

Visible mending embraces the idea that repairs don’t need to be hidden. Using simple techniques like patch making, darning, sashiko style stitching, and decorative embroidery, you’ll reinforce worn areas while adding character and charm. We’ll provide embroidery thread, darning needles, darning eggs, fabric scraps, and plenty of guidance as you work.

This is an adults only workshop due to the tools and techniques involved. The atmosphere is gentle and creative—perfect for anyone who wants to slow down, learn a practical skill, and keep clothing out of landfills and in their wardrobe rotation. 

As you mend, enjoy a small grazing table of finger foods along with alcoholic spritzers and non alcoholic iced tea coolers in soft, seasonal flavors. Think citrus mint, peach vanilla, or berry hibiscus—refreshing, simple, and easy to sip while stitching.
You’ll leave with a repaired garment, new skills, and the confidence to keep mending at home.
