Mending Circle - 2025

Sunday 30 November 2025
If you have clothing or accessories that are sitting in a mending pile waiting to have new life breathed back into them again - this is the class for you. This is a beautiful opportunity for us to practice some mindfulness as we slow down physically and allow ourselves a slower pace while chatting and bringing back some goodness to our often depleted cups. Please bring all the materials that you will need to fix, mend and repair your items. I'll help you get your clothes and accessories looking fabulous again and will also demonstrate a mending method each class.
