Discover the basics of darning, a traditional hand-sewing technique used to repair and breathe new life into worn or damaged clothing. Originally used on knitwear, darning can be applied to almost any fabric—perfect for mending or upcycling your favourite pieces using a simple yet striking check-pattern weave.
This beginner-friendly workshop requires no sewing machine—just your hands and a bit of creativity. Whether you're looking to repair a beloved jumper or add a unique touch to your wardrobe, you'll leave feeling inspired and ready to keep the mending going at home.
The workshop takes place in a gazebo at Lower Grosvenor Gardens as part of our VE Day Garden Party, featuring 1940s music and dancing, garden games, and a selection of afternoon tea treats and refreshing drinks available to purchase.
