Learn to darn an item of clothing using the woven darning technique. This versatile method is great for knitted or woven textiles, and can be used to patch holes, cover stains, and reinforce worn areas. Lorna will guide you in choosing the right tools and materials and show you step by step how to make a beautiful lasting repair.
All sessions are free. 

We ask you to fill in a form for our funders and let us know if you do not wish to be photographed.
