Join Molly Rooke of Darn Good Studio for a mindful mending session where you can sit, chat and mend your clothes. Have a go at some easy mending techniques which will keep your clothes going for longer. Please do bring your mending along, or you can practice with what we have on the day!

About Darn Good

Hi! I’m Molly.

I’m an artist, educator and self-taught mender. I set up Darn Good after teaching myself to darn during the 2020 lockdown, and found a real joy and love for mending and repair.

I believe in celebrating the changes our clothes go through and focus on visible, colourful mending to tell their stories.

The ethos behind Darn Good is a focus on sustainability and giving clothes a second life, rather than sending them to landfill. It is about making a conscious decision to repair and restore, and to rethink our consumption of fashion and textiles. We are using up too many of the earth’s resources in a quest for always having something new, and the earth is not an endless resource.

If you’d like me to repair an item of clothing, run a workshop or do a 1-1 tutorial, get in touch via email molly (at) darngoodstudio.co.uk or via the link below:
