Upcycle-workshop visual mending

In this upcycle workshop, Textiel Atelier Katendrecht will show you the ropes of various visible mending techniques, such as sashiko, weaving, and felting. During the workshop, you will then get hands-on with embroidery to repair holes, tears, and stains. You will experiment with different embroidery stitches, such as chain stitch and blanket stitch. In addition, there is limited material available to also practice with sashiko and weaving. What should you bring? A piece of clothing or another piece of textile with a hole, tear, or stain. Don't have anything on hand? No problem, there are also practice patches. Pen and paper to take notes. Workshop details: The workshop takes place in the BlueCity Lab, in the basement of the old wave pool. The meeting point is at 13:15 at the revolving door/entrance of BlueCity, Maasboulevard 100. Suitable for complete beginners. Changez: This workshop is part of the Changez program. The day after Black Friday, BlueCity will transform the old Tropicana swimming pool into a circular department store with a clothing swap, a market with sustainable gifts, a textile repair café, and a knitting café. Together, we are taking a stand against fast fashion and the throwaway society!
