Mending Meetup

Join us for a mending meetup with Bliss Joy Bull + Handmade Whatever at Indigo & Violet Studio!

Mend in community and whittle down that never-ending pile of clothes that need to be mended. Come meet and get to know fellow menders! Share your favorite technique for sewing on a button, adding an embroidered embellishment, or sock darning with other menders. Some repairs will benefit from using a sewing machine, we'll have at least one machine at the meet-up. Come spend some structured time to get those holey clothes mended!

While some tools and materials will be provided, we suggest bringing your favorite sewing kit from home. We’ll have plenty of fabric scraps and embroidery floss to share. Basic sewing skills and mending are suggested as this is not a class format and we won’t be teaching techniques per se. It’s a place to share knowledge and our love of repairing and mending clothes.

Nandi and Emma will be around to share their favorite techniques for mending. A mending kit, sashiko thread, and/or thread snips can be added at checkout.
