Machine Darning/Mending
Utilizing the sewing machine and darning foot we'll learn to repair holes and tears so that they are sturdy and flexible. Perfect for quick fixes to extend the lifetime of your clothing and home goods. We'll prepare the hole/tear for repair, discuss best thread and stitch length, and then get to it!
