Help keep textile waste out of landfills! Transform a well-used item of clothing (torn, ripped, stained) into a reusable work of art using mending techniques like patchwork and embroidery. New to sewing? Not a problem! This is a great workshop for anyone who is interested in mending clothes quickly and on a budget. Please bring an item(s) of clothing you would like to mend. All other materials will be provided.
