2 hours per week, hands-on small group class. All levels/no experience necessary. All materials included. Our studio is located in the Church Hill neighborhood of Richmond, VA.
In this 4-week class, you will learn various hand stitches to repair, embellish and patch clothing. The stitches are both decorative and strengthening; they can also be used for stain cover-ups. In addition to the sewing techniques, we will discuss how to care for clothing that has been visibly mended.
Week 1: Sashiko-style repair using running stitch, backstitch and prick stitch
Week 2: Variations of rice stitch and satin stitch
Week 3: Attach patches using the stitches above
Week 4: Flat weave over a hole with extra time to work on personal repairs
We will provide scrap fabric that you can practice on and turn into patches the first 3 weeks. You can also apply these techniques directly to any well-loved clothing that you bring along. On week 4, you will learn to how to apply patches with the various stitches you’ve learned.
Note: An article of clothing is NOT required to participate as we will have plenty of practice materials for you to create patches with, that you can apply to clothes in the future.
