Patching is a useful technique to repair holes in clothes, making them stronger.

In this online workshop we will demonstrate patching techniques in a 'visible mending' style taking inspiration from decorative techniques like the Japanese art of Boro and Sashiko. We'll also go through some more invisible mending methods. It will be an interactive workshop so a patching kit will be sent out to you in advance for you to practice on during the workshop. There will be opportunities to ask any questions you might have throughout and practice at the same time.

Each kit (normal RRP £10) includes a selection of small fabric patches in a variety of materials, a selection of embroidery threads, some needles and an instructional card for you to look back at after the workshop.

This workshop will be carried out over Zoom, the details for this and the patching kit will be sent to you before the workshop.

Our 'How to Darn' workshop is at a different time on the same day. We offer a £5 discount if you buy a ticket for both the darning and patching workshops (discount applies for different days, you don't have to attend both workshops on the same day). Code should be automatically applied at check out. Please get in touch if it isn't working correctly.

Fast Fashion Therapy is a sewing workshop series encouraging repair, up-cycling and remodelling of used clothes, looking to break our habit to always buy new. Getting together as a group and seeing how many people really are engaged with sustainability is inspiring for all of us. It seems like we are all keen to find practical solutions to the problems surrounding us and these collective community experiences are more important than ever!
