Learn how to mend your denim and woven clothing with beautiful hand stitches. Join Erin for an information-packed, hands-on workshop to learn a sashiko-style visible mending technique. Make your own sashiko stitched sample pattern, and learn “tips and tricks” to get you started on mending. This is a great class for beginners and seasoned hand stitchers alike with an interest in hand stitching as both a functional and beautiful craft.
This three-hour workshop includes:
  • A presentation of mending materials and how they are used in practice.
  • A hands-on tutorial to practice and complete a patch, in the sashiko-style embroidery technique.
  • An explanation of how to repair specific types of mends (crotch/butt patching, threadbare areas, torn pockets, worn knees).
  • An opportunity to ask questions about your specific repair.
Add flair to your wardrobe and upcycle your well-loved denim with this craft idea! Bring some friends along to support each other as you learn a new skill. Or use this workshop as a gift idea for a crafter in your life!

Recent reviews of Mending Class: Sashiko Style Visible Mending with Wren Bird Mends

  • 5/5 from Betsy Schairer, attended Sep 2026: I learned a lot and the environment was friendly and supportive. Overall I had a great time and would definitely take another class here again. Thank you!!!
  • 5/5 from Dee Anna Hulbert, attended Sep 2026: My friend had been interested in this style of mending for many years and I was happy to finally find a class. We both attended and had such a great time learning and chatting. Our teacher was extremely knowledgeable and had excellent tips and guidance. The space was lovely and it was so thoughtful to have snacks and drinks! We both hope to attend more classes like this in the future.
  • 4/5 from Matt Sanford, attended Sep 2026: Had a good time learning a new skill. The focus was primarily on stitch technique with an introduction to understanding patterns. My main goal is embellishment so that was perfect. Patching/mending was explained near the end so people with garments to mend never really got to it. They did leave with knowledge and supplies to continue at home.
  • 4/5 from Sharon Frey Jones, attended Sep 2026: Really appreciated Erin’s class. Loved being able to buy her book. That was a great bonus.
