Mending bee

Dec 15th

Bring your mending basket and let's patch things together! Come see how other parents mend their children's clothes, and show us how you mend yours, and we can make things whole together. We will be fixing holes in woolens, or whatever else you want bring, and sharing ideas as we go.

You could bring:

~ Clothes with holes

~ Mending examples to share 

~ Patch fabric

~ Needles and colored thread

~ Felting needles 

~ Wool roving 

~ Cookie cutters for felting

~ Yarn

I plan to try hexagons and six-pointed stars or octagons and eight-pointed stars, but those polyhedrons may not lend themselves to the magic of this dodecahedron lantern. Geometry will be relevant but optional conversation topic!
