Visible Mending Workshop

Patch, Stitch, Repair: An Visible Mending Workshop

Come slow down and stitch with intention at Aki & Co's cozy creative studio. In this beginner-friendly, two-hour workshop, you'll learn practical and beautiful techniques to extend the life of your clothing using visible mending.

We’ll cover:

• How to patch worn or damaged areas by hand
• The blanket stitch, used to secure and decorate edges
• A brief history of Sashiko and how to apply simple patterns
• Tips for working with different fabrics and placing your mends intentionally

This is a creative, meditative practice rooted in sustainability and care. Whether you’re hoping to fix a favorite pair of jeans or simply want to learn a new skill, this workshop is a great place to start.

🧰 All materials will be provided, including a stitch template and a take-home mending kit with thread, needles, and fabric patches. You're welcome to bring a garment of your own to work on, or use the materials provided to practice. You'll also have access to my selection of threads and fabrics but feel free to bring your own materials.

Light refreshments will be provided.
