    Visible mending is a creative approach to repairing worn or damaged clothing that combines sustainability with self-expression, allowing you to transform imperfections into eye-catching additions and extend the life of your clothes.

    Bring clothes you love that have small holes or stains and learn how to creatively give them new life! We will be providing materials and the instruction for decoratively mending clothes with thread and patches. This process is inspired by the traditional Japanese practice of shashiko mending, meaning “little stabs”.

    Need materials? Stop by Bucky's Closet every Tuesday and Wednesday from 11a-4:30pm in Daly Science 317.
