Fix your tattered socks, sweaters, and knit textiles with a simple woven type of mending known as darning! In this sewing workshop in Seattle, Erin Eggenburg will teach you three different types of darning, and practice each technique on a provided sampler.
In this three-hour workshop you will:
  • Learn what darning is.
  • Gain insight of darning materials and how to choose materials to use for a specific darning project.
  • Create a darning sampler using three darning techniques.
Rather than donating your worn clothes or throwing them in the trash, you can give them new life with this easy mending trick! Bring your knits in need of darning, and leave with a plan for mending. Darning will be your favorite new sustainable DIY idea and will add small pops of color to your wardrobe.
Please note:
If you cannot attend class for any reason up to 48 hours before the class, an exchange to another Ugly Baby workshop will be offered. After that time, no refunds or exchanges are issued out of respect for the teachers who purchase and prepare supplies based on the number of attendees.

  • 5/5 from Stephanie Gist, attended Sep 2026: Such a fun class. I left having learned a lot! Thank you so much!
  • 5/5 from Tara Lietzow, attended Sep 2026: Amazing! It was a fun group (I didn’t know anyone, am an introvert and still had a good time) and the hands on instruction (darning) was great. Would totally take another class here.
  • 5/5 from Mary Lewis, attended Sep 2026: Erin is a fantastic instructor, class space is a block off the light rail station, and always drinks and great tunes. Thank you!
  • 5/5 from Margaret Waggoner, attended Sep 2026: Erin and Rosalie are amazing. Great collaborative class environment where you can be a dummy, ask questions, and chat with new folks. Took the class with a friend but would totally feel comfortable on my own. Erin does a great job explaining to newbies and experienced makers. Rosalie is friendly, welcoming, and charming. Can’t wait to sign up for more classes!
  • 5/5 from Nikki Przasnyski, attended Sep 2026: Yay! Thank you for a great class. Really appreciated how good the teaching was. Yo.
