Explore the timeless art of darning. Whereas appliqué, sashiko, or kantha stitching usually works on woven fabrics (think t-shirts, jeans, or sweatshirts), darning focuses on knit fabrics (sweaters, cardigans, or socks). This hands-on workshop will teach you how to mend and reinforce your knitted clothing with style and purpose, perfect for beginners and seasoned stitchers alike.

Whether you’re repairing your favorite scarf, adding charm to a worn-out hat, or learning techniques to keep your wardrobe lasting longer, this class is about more than stitches—it’s about connection, mindfulness, and honoring what you already have.
