Looking for something to do during the dark days of winter? Join us for our Visible Mending programing! Over 8 weeks beginning January 19, we'll talk about visible mending and practice several mending techniques. Some examples include felt patches, boro patching, sashiko stitching, weaving, applique and reverse applique. In the final episode we'll make an (optional) drawstring bag.
