Darn It

Learn how to mend small holes in your clothes with this darning ecourse. Darning is a traditional mending technique that uses a needle and yarn to fill in holes. It is also so much more:

Darning is the art of taking care of what we own. Making do, and tending to that which is broken.

Darning is a creative act of self-expression.

Darning is an act of love for ourselves or for another, and of love for this planet. Imbuing our own or our dear ones’ garments with attention and care.

In this short and sweet ecourse, you’ll learn the basic technique of darning holes, plus some ways to adapt this technique to trickier mends. There is a detailed video for each lesson, and extra photos and notes to supplement your learning.

You’ll have ongoing access to the lessons, so you can work through the course at your own pace and come back to it whenever you need.
