Art of Mending with Tonia

Visible mending has emerged as a fun activity in the slow-living movement and can be quite artful and a way to express your unique style. In this fun live class with Tonia as our guide, learn a simple and relatively quick way to save a garment you thought was ruined and give it a new life. This is a beginner-level activity and no prior embroidery knowledge is needed

Gather your Supplies

• torn or stained garment—something in need of repair
• scraps of fabric—contrasting colors are fun
• cotton thread, colors of your choice (I prefer sashiko and primarily use white)
• sharp needle that can accommodate your chosen thread (I use sashiko needles)
• scissors
• fabric glue or a few straight pins
