Join us for a hands-on workshop exploring the art of visible mending – a beautiful, sustainable way to repair and celebrate your favourite jumpers, socks and cardigans.
Led by Nadien K in collaboration with Positive Retail, this session is rooted in our shared values of sustainability, creativity, and a desire to reshape the traditional high street retail model into something more positive, personal, and environmentally conscious.
In this workshop, you’ll learn woven darning – a timeless mending technique that not only extends the life of your garments but also adds character and story to them. Nadien will guide you through the steps on a practice swatch before you move on to mending your own garment.
What to expect:
An introduction to the visible mending ethos
Step-by-step instructions for woven darning
All materials provided for practice
Time and support to begin work on your own garments
A relaxed, welcoming atmosphere with refreshments provided
Shop Positive Retail's pre-loved range before the shop doors open
Darning kits to purchase in store to continue your mending at home
What to bring:
One or two (knitwear) pieces you'd like to discuss and begin mending.
No sewing experience is required – just bring your enthusiasm and a love for your clothes.
Let’s repair, rewear, and rethink fashion together.
Location: Positive Retail, 58 Dalston Lane, E8 3AH, see pinned location
