What happens in this class?

Hello and welcome. Learn the art of repair, from visible patch or Sashiko to invisible whipstitch, ladder stitch or slip stitch. You do not need a sewing machine as this will all be done by hand. This hour and half lesson will cover the sewing technique history, step-by-step sew-a-long style teaching until the garment is fixed or the time is complete.
