SUMMARY:STUDIO 24: Hard Repairs: Thighs\, Seams\, and Underarms on Woven Fabrics like Denim with Katrina Rodabaugh
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to approach more difficult repairs like torn thighs\, 
 ripped seams\, and damaged underarms on woven fabrics like denim\, linen\, 
 cotton\, and silk. Explore how to work with the drape\, construction\, and 
 original design of the textile while adding durability. In this class\, 
 we’ll explore more challenging repairs that span seams\, cross 
 quadrants\, or interfere with the textile’s purpose. We’ll focus on 
 hard-working patches as the foundation for repair. We’ll cover useful 
 knots\, stitches\, and design elements while focusing on external and 
 internal patches. Please bring one clean textile to mend that’s made from 
 woven fabric like denim\, cotton\, linen\, flannel\, or canvas—no 
 sweaters or knits\, please\, we’ll cover those techniques in darning 
 classes. (If you’d like a less visible repair\, bring a patch that 
 matches the content\, color\, and weight of your textile. A limited 
 selection of patches will be provided.)\n\n\nThis Maker-In-Residence 
 program is made possible with funding from the Boulder Library Foundation. 
 The Foundation organizes local philanthropic support for innovation\, 
 capital improvements\, creativity\, and expanded outreach and literacy for 
 Boulder's Libraries. \n\n \n\n\nJoin award-winning artist and best-selling 
 author\, Katrina Rodabaugh\, for in-person mending workshops with the 
 Boulder Public Library. Katrina is the author of Mending Matters (Abrams\, 
 2018) and Make Thrift Mend (Abrams\, 2021)—joyful and practical guides to 
 mending and slow fashion. Visible mending is a series of hand-sewing 
 techniques that combine patches\, stitches\, weavings\, and design elements 
 to make beautiful\, long-lasting repairs. The classes will consider the 
 creative opportunity in mending woven and knit fabrics through careful 
 consideration of materials\, design\, and stitching techniques. All mending 
 will focus on hand-sewing woven fabrics like denim\, linen\, cotton\, and 
 silk or knit fabrics like sweaters\, socks\, gloves\, hats\, etc. Mending 
 is a wonderful way to practice hand-stitching and sustainability by 
 extending the life of our textiles. Simple stitches transform torn or 
 distressed garments and homewares through thoughtful repairs.\n\n
