Students will learn to repair existing garments using scrap denim and sashiko thread. We will use a whipstitch and hand-sew the patches to the back of a hole in a pair of jeans as a form of visible mending. Students will walk away with a repaired/mended garment as well as a new skill they can apply to future projects.
