Visible mending: patch making

This course is a short introduction to visible mending using patches. Follow easy, no-sew steps to make a decorative patch using salvaged materials and interfacing. Patches can be customised for an intended mend, and you can take some home for future use. You’ll then be guided through the process of mending a damaged piece of textile by applying your handmade patch.

Materials provided
Fabric and other materials will be supplied but we strongly encourage you to bring your own favourite textiles and any pieces that need mending.
