A Mindful Approach to Creating Patches with Maddy Barsch

$15 – $35

Event Navigation

This workshop is a part of Fibershed’s 2022 Mending Challenge Series. (Haven’t signed up for our challenge? Signup here!)

If our hand stitching tells a story, what would your stitches say about you? Would they be long, linear and smooth? Maybe they’d be short, staccato and jumbled. When we slow down and give ourselves time to process the passage of time with hand work, there is a grounding and insight into ourselves that we normally miss. Let’s bring mindful stitching into your mending practice to create patches that can add beauty and function to your garments. Basic needlework skills like threading a needle, a variety of stitches etc. will be covered, and no experience is necessary.

When: Wednesday, July 6, 3p PT/ 5p CT/6p ET

Length: 2 hours

Where: Zoom

Cost: Sliding Scale, suggested offering of $15-35
