Hole in a favourite garment? Repair your own clothes with beautiful visible embroidery. That way, you can turn it into a unique piece that will last a long time! You will learn how to do this at De Steek.
In this workshop, you will repair holes with embroidery stitches and different patterns. During this session, you will learn to turn something broken into something beautiful. Visible mending is experiencing a revival in contemporary fashion, as we are not happy with fast fashion and throwing away items, even though they are still favourite pieces with minor flaws, for example.
This technique is used to reinforce worn fabric to make it last longer. Stitching can be developed into intricate geometric patterns in different colours of thread and with leftover fabrics on the back. Besides mending clothes, you can also use this technique to easily embellish your sewing projects with beautiful designs.
We also give you some more inspiration and options for using embroidery to repair your clothes. No sewing or embroidery experience is needed. All tools and materials are provided.*
*A basic kit with materials/tools and an instruction booklet is included. But you may also bring a garment to sew on (preferably non-stretch, such as denim).
There is space for 10 participants.
