SUMMARY:Visible Mending Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Mending is a wonderful way to transform your favorite torn or distressed garments\, homewares\, and other textiles. In this workshop you will explore visible mending with cotton thread and patching\, developing your own stitch patterns. Essentially you will be fusing fabrics together with stitch\, so they become a new cloth. You will practice boro\, sashiko\, darning\, & quilting techniques on a sampler first then moving onto the item you brought to repair. Each student will receive an individual consultation on how best to mend one garment considering the fabric\, fiber\, thread\, color\, lines\, techniques\, and more. Students will leave the workshop with a stitching sampler\, mended garment (in-progress)\, various resources. Basic sewing and stitching skills are required.

SUMMARY:Community Indigo Vat
DESCRIPTION:Come immerse yourself in the sea of Sonoma County Blue! Fibershed member\, Craig Wilkinson\, has provided our community with it’s first locally grown\, Japanese indigo vat. This is a unique indigo recipe as the color comes from composted indigo (sukumo) as opposed to an extract or pigment. During the 90 minutes one-one-one access to our special\, composted indigo vat\, you’ll get a chance to achieve different shades of blue through multiple dips on fabric\, yarn or fiber. Some shibori supplies are available if you want to play with resist techniques\, though we recommend you prepare your fabric ahead of time. \n  \nPlease note\, this is self-serve with minimal instruction. There will be a brief 15-minute introduction to the history of the vat\, how to properly use it and rinse your fabric. This is NOT a class. \n  \nPlease weigh your items (dry) ahead of time to ensure it falls within the weight category (see below). If you have more than the allotted amount\, you may sign up for 2 sessions. Maximum weight is double to allow the use of the vat for other users. Instructions for properly preparing your items for a successful dye experience will be e-mailed the week prior to your session. Please wear clothes you don’t mind getting a little blue and bring a plastic bag to bring home your wet items. The studio has aprons\, gloves\, tongs and a small supply of resist tools on hand. \n  \nNitty Gritty Details: Access to the vat is based on Registration. \nNo walk-ins. \nTo ensure that each person has access to a lively\, fully colored vat\, there is a weight limitation (dry weight) per person: \nYarn/Fiber: 250 grams \nFabric: 500 grams \n  \nIt is highly recommended to pre-soak wool overnight. If you will be bringing wool to dye\, please weigh before you pre-soak. \n  \nOnly 1 person per session. Call for questions! 707-242-3400

SUMMARY:Community Indigo Vat
DESCRIPTION:Come immerse yourself in the sea of Sonoma County Blue! Fibershed member\, Craig Wilkinson\, has provided our community with it’s first locally grown\, Japanese indigo vat. This is a unique indigo recipe as the color comes from composted indigo (sukumo) as opposed to an extract or pigment. During the 90 minutes one-one-one access to our special\, composted indigo vat\, you’ll get a chance to achieve different shades of blue through multiple dips on fabric\, yarn or fiber. Some shibori supplies are available if you want to play with resist techniques\, though we recommend you prepare your fabric ahead of time. \n  \nPlease note\, this is self-serve with minimal instruction. There will be a brief 15-minute introduction to the history of the vat\, how to properly use it and rinse your fabric. This is NOT a class. \n  \nPlease weigh your items (dry) ahead of time to ensure it falls within the weight category (see below). If you have more than the allotted amount\, you may sign up for 2 sessions. Maximum weight is double to allow the use of the vat for other users. Instructions for properly preparing your items for a successful dye experience will be e-mailed the week prior to your session. Please wear clothes you don’t mind getting a little blue and bring a plastic bag to bring home your wet items. The studio has aprons\, gloves\, tongs and a small supply of resist tools on hand. \n  \nNitty Gritty Details: Access to the vat is based on Registration. \nNo walk-ins. \nTo ensure that each person has access to a lively\, fully colored vat\, there is a weight limitation (dry weight) per person: \nYarn/Fiber: 250 grams \nFabric: 500 grams \n  \nIt is highly recommended to pre-soak wool overnight.

SUMMARY:Visible Mending
DESCRIPTION:Mending is a wonderful way to transform your favorite torn or distressed garments\, homewares\, and other textiles. In this workshop you will explore visible mending with cotton thread and patching\, developing your own stitch patterns. Essentially you will be fusing fabrics together with stitch\, so they become a new cloth. You will practice boro\, sashiko\, darning\, & quilting techniques on a sampler first then moving onto the item you brought to repair. Each student will receive an individual consultation on how best to mend one garment considering fabric\, fiber\, thread\, color\, lines\, techniques\, and more. Students will leave the workshop with a stitching sampler\, mended garment (in-progress)\, various resources. Basic sewing and stitching skills are required. \n  \nIf you don’t have a garment to mend but want to explore visible mending to create an abstract art piece you are welcome. I often make practice samplers to explore different shapes and color stories that then get turned into pillows or wall hangings. \nPlease bring your own woven fabric garment or textile for mending. Cotton\, linens\, & lighter weight denims are good starter fabrics\, silk is fine too. Patching fabric should match the weight and fiber of the garment being mended. Don’t worry if you don’t have fabric\, there will fabric available in class too. If fixing a pair of jeans with stretch using t-shirt fabric works well or other denim with stretch. Garments should be clean and ironed or mostly wrinkle free. \n  \nMaterials Requirements: Please bring a mending project\, 1-3 skeins if using different colors(half skeins are fine) of embroidery\, sashiko\, or pearl cotton thread & an embroidery hoop that is a suitable size to fit the project. Sashiko needles will be provided during class but if you have Sashiko or embroidery needles please bring them. Judith & Lily’s shop has needles and threads available for purchase if you need to purchase materials. \n  \nMaterials provided: Fabric for the sampler\, scissors\, chalk pencils\, rulers\, fabric glue sticks\, a lot of embroidery & pearl cotton for trying out and playing with\, extra fabric for patches. Using cloth that has already softened and settled through wear and washing\, for instance\, pillowcases\, tea towels\, well-worn shirts\, as well as some fresh new shirting fabrics make great patches. \n  \nSashiko needles will be provided during class & available for purchase. There will be some embroidery hoops available for use during class only. \n  \n$75.00\n\nInstructor: Heidi Iverson\nThursday\, March 19th\n1:00 – 4:00 pm
