Tom of Holland is a leader in the mending movement in Europe – a stitcher and textile historian of repute.
In this class Tom will introduce you to hemming techniques and you will practice a hemmed and an over sewn patch.
Tom will share examples of his own work for inspiration and discuss the socio-historic aspects of repair, as well as display sewing and repair books and manuals, and generally engage in conversations about our motivations of repair.
