Visible Mending Workshop

Stitch your way into the world of embroidery at the Visible Mending Workshop at Make at Rosie! This beginner-friendly class is all about turning worn or well-loved clothes into artful, eye-catching pieces you’ll be proud to keep wearing.

In this relaxed, welcoming workshop, you’ll learn four core embroidery stitches — back stitch, straight stitch, lazy daisy, and French knot — and how to use them for visible mending and creative embellishment. No prior experience is needed; just bring your curiosity and a willingness to play with thread and color.

• Hands-on instruction in foundational embroidery stitches you can use for mending or decorative projects
• All materials provided, so you can simply show up and start stitching
• Leave with your own finished sampler to display, gift, or use as a reference for future projects
• Learn how to keep practicing at home with tips, tricks, and ideas from friendly instructors
• Connect with other makers in a creative, low-pressure environment that celebrates learning and experimentation

This workshop is open to everyone ages 16 and up, with a special emphasis on welcoming women, nonbinary folks, and anyone seeking an inclusive creative space. Expect laughter, encouragement, and a few gloriously tangled threads along the way as you build confidence one stitch at a time.

If you’ve been wanting to start a new hobby, expand your maker toolkit, or simply spend an evening making something with your hands, this is your chance. Reserve your spot, bring your enthusiasm, and get ready to turn simple stitches into something truly meaningful.
