In this welcoming, beginner-friendly darning class in London, you'll learn how to darn (creating a woven patch) to repair holes in your clothes. You'll also learn how to repair worn or damaged areas where a hole hasn't fully emerged. These techniques can also be used to cover stains or work as an embellishment!
We'll begin with an overview of the types of yarn and thread that are best suited for each fabric. I'll show you my favourite way to thread a needle, and we'll warm up with some simple stitching techniques. I will then teach you how to darn, and as we go we'll explore ways to play with colour, texture and shape so that your mends are beautiful as well as functional, whether they be distinctive or discreet.
Together we will really practise your new skill, ensuring you leave ready to (and excited about) approaching your mend pile. The class is aimed at beginners, but those with sewing experience are of course welcome too.
Accessibility: Unfortunately, there is no wheelchair access. We are situated on the first floor. To those with allergies, cats live on the premises.

Mending since 2018. My work has featured in The Guardian, The Observer and The Refinery UK, and I have facilitated workshops in art galleries, hospitals and community spaces.
Repairing your own clothes is a small, radical act - making a commitment to the objects we take into our lives and refusing the (il)logic of disposability. It is also a tender, creative one: to mend is to attend closely to breakage, making a small artwork of repair that lives on the body. I am passionate about teaching sewing and sharing the pleasure of mending and making with your own hands.
