Sewing on a Patch

  • The Scrap Exchange 2050 Chapel Hill Road Durham, NC, 27707 United States (map)

In this Upcycle Clothing Workshop with River Takada, we will be learning how to sew on a patch by hand for mending or decorative purposes.  We will cover how to pick your patch fabric, what size to cut it, best practices and best stitches to attach your patch in place.  We will discuss applique, reverse applique, and elements of visible mending.  Bring a textile item from home to patch (bring your own material or use the random scraps on hand) or practice hand sewing on scrap fabric.  No previous sewing experience required.

Cost per student: $35

Max number of students: 12
