Darning for Fashion and Functionality with Emma Percy

If you have clothes that are wearing thin, never fear: darning is a simple way to re-weave garments with fresh color and texture while prolonging their life at the same time! Emma will demonstrate how to use colorful reused threads to repair holes and thin spots in fabric, with a focus on creative expression and visual embellishment.
