Visible mending workshop with Roberta Cummings – Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse

In this cosy and mindful practical workshop, you will learn some basic visible mending techniques to extend the life of your clothing and other textiles in use in your day-to-day life.
The workshop will explore darning and patching holes, tears and worn areas on both knitted and woven fabrics, and participants will use a variety of embroidery techniques across a variety of fabric types.
Darning looms and hand crank sewing machines will also be available to use. Beginners welcome! No prior sewing experience is necessary to join in with this workshop; knowledge of knitting may be helpful, but is not essential. Please bring along a garment or textile you’d like to mend and a picnic lunch, as the café and the rest of the site remains closed over the winter.
