Level 0: Intro to Mending

 

Show your wardrobe some love! Mending is a simple skill that can extend the lifespan of a beloved garment, allowing you to continue wearing it for years to come while keeping textile waste out of landfill.

In this beginner friendly workshop, students will learn some basic mending techniques to repair their knitwear. Show off your creativity with visible mending or do a subtle mend to compliment the original fabric.

These workshops are possible thanks to the Beehive Wool Shop Foundation and the City of Victoria's My Great Neighbourhood Grant program, allowing us to provide supplies for free.

If desired, students can purchase their own supplies. Students get a 15% discount on materials purchased at the Beehive.
