Get crafty and breathe new life into old clothes with this session led by Cat Heraty, Mend Assembly Co-Founder – live from Mend Assembly Studio in Totnes, Devon.
Cat’s darning classes are open to everyone. She will guide you through the process of choosing yarn, setting up your darn and then how to complete a simple darn to patch up a hole in any knitted garment.
You will need:
- a knitted (or jersey type) garment with a hole
- a few different yarn weights that you feel will match well with the weight and colour of the garment you are mending (or use contrast colours for visible mends!)
- a darning needle (blunt end with a big enough eye for your yarn weight)
- a wooden darning mushroom (or a whole orange and an elastic band works well too!)
- scissors
- good lighting to work in
If you don’t have anything you need to darn at the moment, you can still come along to watch and learn.
Cat Heraty brings over 15 years experience as a commercial designer coupled with her professional exploration of slow and responsible fashion practice. Cat heads up the day to day running of the Mend Assembly studio where she continues to develop, innovate and inspire others to become responsible fashion practitioners.
