Boro Inspired Mending Workshop

Learn to visibly repair textiles inspired by Japanese ‘boro’ and the foundations of sashiko embroidery.

In this workshop Lorna will guide you through repairing and reinforcing damaged items using patches. You will discover which stitches work best for this relaxing and versatile method of clothing repair. Youll leave with the skills and confidence to repair your clothes at home.

Bring an item to work on, or practice on a sample piece. All other materials will be provided.

The workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as those with some sewing experience, all levels are welcome.

This workshop also makes a wonderful gift for family and friends. Just print off the ticket and pop it in a card!
