Have moths eaten your favorite sweater? Come on over, have a cup of tea and learn the art of darning. This simple visible mending technique covers the holes and – if you wish – can turn your garment into a statement piece. Bring your own sweater or scarf to mend and I will provide the materials, tea and treats.

Are your holey jeans feeling a bit 2024? Or does your favorite pair just seem tired? Don’t add to the landfill! Bring your pre-loved denim over to my studio and upcycle them in a fun, creative class. In this session, you’ll learn how to do basic patching and embellishing with hand stitching and colorful fabrics. Crochet pieces and vintage buttons are on hand as well. Bring your own garments to patch and I supply the rest including tea and cookies.
Denim and Drinks
Saturdays, March 21 / 28
5-7pm
4 hours / $125
Ready to take denim upcycling to the next level? Let’s make an amazing skirt out of an unwanted pair of jeans shorts or pants. In this two-part workshop, you’ll deconstruct the jeans, remake them into a mini or midi and then embellish with fabrics, buttons, embroidery etc. to your heart’s content. This class is best for those who have some sewing skills. Bring your own denim garments to upcycle and the all fun stuff will be supplied. This one is BYOB alcohol, but I will have tea and snacks on hand as well.
