Learn creative mending techniques like patching and darning to extend the life of your well-loved clothing and build a more sustainable wardrobe. This course is open to all skill levels, and all necessary materials will be provided to create a visible mending sampler. Feel free to bring your own clothing for repair, though it's not required. Mariko Sugimori is the owner of Mona & Zoe Mending. Her creative visible mending journey is partly inspired by her Japanese father instilling the concept of Mottainai, which roughly translates to “what a waste.” It’s a phrase commonly used to express regret of throwing something away when it still holds value.
