Intro to Darning at Maydel

  • Maydel 3118 N Lincoln Ave Chicago, IL, 60657 United States (map)

Darning is the act of repairing a torn or worn out piece of cloth by hand, weaving new threads into the old. It is a surprisingly simple mending technique that works great for small holes, like in worn out socks, chunkier knits, jeans, and moth-eaten sweaters, without the need for additional fabric patches.

In this workshop, Lucy will provide a demo, physical examples and diagrams to follow along, and guidance while you repair your own garments.

Required skills/prerequisites: None! Experience stitching with a needle and thread is helpful but not required.
