Darning and Mending

Hand-sewing, mending and darning clothing are ancient human hand skills. Humans have used animal skins, tendons, sinew, furs and hairs, and various plant fibers to make needles, threads and fabrics, which can be sewn into pants, shirts, hats, gloves, bags, pouches, and more. Patches can be made to be beautiful as well as functional. Needles and thread can be made from naturally-harvested organic material; sewing comprehension with industrial supplies remains invaluable in the modern world.

Bring your holy garments and busted stuff to fix if you wish, or come with nothing but your curiosity! We will have a variety of fabrics, yarns, and threads available, but if you need something very specific for your project then you'll have to bring it yourself.
