SUMMARY:Visible Mending- The Darn Weave
DESCRIPTION:As the seasons change\, it is a good time to take a closer look
  at the knits we love and get them ready for another winter.\n\nA small ho
 le\, a worn elbow\, or a snag does not have to mean the end of a beloved g
 arment. In this hands-on visible mending workshop\, you will learn a woven
  repair technique that transforms damage into an intentional and beautiful
  design detail. Rather than hiding a repair\, we will highlight it\, stren
 gthening the fabric while honoring the history of the garment.\n\nYou will
  be guided step by step through the fundamentals of this technique in a su
 pportive and creative setting. We will explore how to stabilize damaged ar
 eas\, build a woven structure\, and choose threads that either blend beaut
 ifully with the garment or create a thoughtful contrast.\n\nParticipants a
 re invited to bring a knitted garment in need of some care\, such as a swe
 ater with small holes\, a well-loved pair of thick socks\, or another trea
 sured piece that has been waiting to be repaired. You will have the opport
 unity to begin mending your own garment and put your new skills into pract
 ice.\n\nThrough the process\, we will consider repair as a form of care an
 d a way of extending the life of the clothes we already own. You will leav
 e with practical skills\, renewed confidence\, and a fresh perspective on 
 giving well-loved garments a second life.\n\nNo prior sewing experience is
  needed.\n\n\nAbout the Instructor\n\nSarah is a Vermont-based maker roote
 d in craftsmanship\, sustainability\, and care. She studied fashion design
  in Germany and began her career in theater\, where she developed a deep r
 espect for material\, detail\, and the expressive power of garments.\nHer 
 work later brought her to a couture studio in Beijing\, where she gained a
  deeper appreciation for the time and craftsmanship behind every finished 
 garment. After moving to the United States\, she founded a sustainable bra
 nd creating handmade leather bags and naturally dyed textiles. \nToday\, h
 er focus centers on teaching and community building\, seeing mending as bo
 th a practical skill and a gesture of love and resistance.\n\nOnline locat
