Culture Days: Visible Mending with Arlene Westen
Students interested in visible mending or slow-stitching will be introduced to the rich history of the running stitch used in various cultures around the world. Using this simple stitch and integrating a few decorative and woven stitches, students will create a one-of-a-kind sampler in the form of a small fabric collage that includes the techniques of darning a hole, needle weaving, mending with a patch and sewing with different yarn weights for added design and contrast elements. For ages 16+
