Have a torn but beloved article of clothing you can’t bear to throw away? No need! Bring those pieces and learn how to stylishly mend your clothing with visible mending, appliqué patching, and Sashiko stitching. You can also learn how to shorten jeans with the original hem. You’ll keep more clothing from being thrown away! No previous sewing experience necessary.
Learn with Sara Noreau Kerr, a multimedia artist with a passion for textiles and an environmental way of life. She loves igniting interest and passion for fiber arts and introducing the wealth of reusable materials available. Sara learned to sew at the feet of her Nonna, a tailor (Italian grandmother). Sara inherited a strong sense of frugality, preferring to remake and reuse whenever possible. Sara’s work ranges from found object weaving, to making dye from her garden plants that she transforms into home goods and clothing. Look for her at NoreauArts.com and on Instagram.
