Discovery session - Mindful mending

Learn how to give your clothes a new lease on life and reduce the amount of clothing going to landfill!   Whether you’re a beginner or a more advanced “sewist”, this workshop is designed to show you enough to carry on this beautiful craft with confidence, as well as build on any existing knowledge and skills. 

In this interactive session, we’ll look at examples of visible mending, cover different terminology and techniques, and discuss mending ideas for individuals to work on repairing or embellishing their garments

ABOUT HOOP HOOP HOORAY
Hoop Hoop Hooray was started by Elise as a hobby business over 8 years ago because of her love of embroidery and her *want* to share her passion with others. With a background in education, she is an experienced, friendly and above all patient teacher who has run numerous embroidery workshops with youngsters and adults. 
Due to the resurgence in mending as a response to the growing sustainability movement, she has been involved in facilitating Visible Mending workshops across Perth. Her aim is to normalise mending and build a community to inspire others, to save textiles going into landfill!
