The October presenter is Ann Weaver, who will be giving a talk titled, “Mend and Embellish.”

Ann Weaver combines her love of knitting, her passion for creative reuse and thrifting, and her love of mending to provide us with techniques for saving or repurposing our beloved handmade and ready-wear knitwear and woven fabrics. With the current trend to use what you already have and fix what’s broken, all the while rejecting the notion that newer is better, Ann will share examples of her altered and mended items and demonstrate how to darn holes using simple tools. Darning can keep your beloved garment and accessories in service for years to come, and Ann hopes to inspire you to give new life to worn or thrifted textiles, perhaps in the form of a pincushion, a pillow, or some other use!

We will be meeting via Zoom in October. The link will be sent to the membership in advance.
