Give your favorite clothes a second life with fun and creative mending techniques.
Holes happen—but mending them can be creative, satisfying, and even a little fun! This Creativebug class covers a variety of darning techniques for all skill levels. You’ll see how to repair knits and woven fabrics using crochet, try an invisible traditional darning method on a sweater, and even experiment with contrasting yarn on socks. The class also explores different ways to mend with patches, giving you plenty of options to bring new life to your favorite clothes. Pick up a sewing kit with embroidery thread from any Ascension Parish Library location—while supplies last—so you can jump right in, whether you’re new to darning or already a repair pro.
*A valid APL card is needed to access the Creativebug website.
