Mending Knitwear at Muswell Hill Creatives Make & Mend Festival

Give your beloved knitwear a new lease of life in this practical workshop. You'll learn how to mend holes and worn fabric, and strengthen weak areas to prevent future damage under the expert supervision of Nessa and Sofia of Four Otter Craft Studio.

This session will guide you through invisible mending techniques, allowing you to seamlessly repair your favourite jumpers and cardigans. You’ll also explore visible mending, adding a creative touch to your repairs and transforming them into unique design features.

Bring along your own knitwear in need of repair, or practise on our samples.

No prior experience is necessary; just a willingness to learn and breathe new life into your garments.

Suitable for age 12+ (all children must be supervised by an adult)
