What's Sewing On? 3 Intro to Patching and Darning (10-13)
Class experience
Sewing is a basic life-skill that is useful to anyone and everyone. From mending ripped clothing or toys, to creating garments and costumes, sewing is a multi-use skill that for most will see life-long application and for some may even become a profession. In this beginner level sewing class, students will be introduced to patching and darning (weaving patches directly into fabrics) holes and tears in fabrics and garments. We will practice darning and patching techniques throughout the class...
Students will learn to apply fabric patches to torn fabrics and darning holes in fabrics using a darning mushroom and a darning egg
I have been sewing since I was about 5 years old. I am 26 now and I make some of my own clothes and all of my own costumes. Sewing is a skill I use daily and I love to pass on this skill to others who want to learn it
