Would you like to try an cool fun way to mend your clothes without a machine?
In this 2-day workshop you will learn how to create simple designs to print on fabric using stencils and water-based fabric paint. We will make a series of patches that we will then apply to a garment using visible mending techniques.
Bring an old favorite (shirt, dress, pants, apron, etc.) in need of a little repair and give it a second chance by transforming it into a piece of art to wear!
This technique is perfect to hide a hole or stain and you can also print directly onto the garment itself and add some decorative stitches.
