Winter Knit Mending Workshop

Learn how to give your old winter knits a second life



2 hours Class size 1 to 12 guests

$95 (Afterpay available)


Winter has arrived and as you unearth your cosy knitwear, why not come and discover some new sewing techniques to mend those pesky holes in your jumpers, brighten up a cuff on a cardigan or even felt a patch onto an old blanket.
Come along to a fun and relaxing workshop to Space2b in St Kilda and learn the art of visible mending with talented Japanese artisan sewer Maoko Carroll.
You will learn the history of visible mending and some repair techniques specific to knitted wares, including stitch and needle felting.
Allow Maoko to show you how to embrace the flaws and see the true beauty through stitch, repurposing and reusing.
Bring along a much-loved woollen item in need of repair and Maoko will show you how to carefully and beautifully mend it. Take some time for yourself to sit, share stories, sew and learn together this weekend.
