Backstitch Gathering #4: Reverse, Repair- healing garments through vibrant mending
January 25 | 6:30-8:30pm
$10-20 suggested | More Info & Event Calendar

This session will center around reversal as a method of repairing. Textile artist Kate Eggleston invites participants to bring in their own worn or torn clothing, and then lead everyone through her practice of visible mending. Restitching over a garment’s wounds grants it fresh life- think pops of colorful thread atop garments that celebrate tended and mended scars. No sewing experience necessary. Please bring one fabric item in need of a small repair (tear, new button, etc).

Sewing + fiber art skills you’ll learn:

• Hand sewing

• Blending in repairs vs making them stand out

• Upcycling textiles
