Ripped a hole in a shirt? Got a busted crotch? Worn through a pair of pants? This workshop is about reinforcing and repairing those rips and tears. Bring along a piece of clothing (cushions or furnishings welcome too!) to fix, and we’ll go through a simple patching technique to repair it.
Keep in mind these techniques are best suited to woven (not stretchy) garments. If you’re not sure if something is right for this workshop, feel free to bring a few items. You don’t need any sewing experience to participate in this class, and we will share nifty sewing tricks to help you feel like a repair pro when you walk out the door.
This workshop will be facilitated by Julia English, a current PhD candidate at RMIT University in Melbourne/Naarm. Her research focuses on local reuse practices, with her PhD examining remanufacturing and upcycling collaborations.
