Visible Mending and Darning are skills that will help you live a more sustainable lifestyle. Learning these traditional techniques will have you choosing to never throw away your favorite jeans or sweaters because they have holes – instead, you will have the skills to make them into works of art!
Both classes will explore the fundamentals of art such as color, line, and texture and how they relate to garment repair. All materials are included in your class fee.

It might help to break up your introduction into 2 or 3 main points, so it’s easy for your readers to follow. Each paragraph or two should focus on one point.
