Create-Connect Workshop Series

Mending 101:
Repairs for the Thrifty Person

Saturday, January 10 from Noon to 2 pm


Got a rip in your favorite jeans?

Just because there’s a hole in those favorite jeans does not mean they are done for! It can be fixed!

In this class, we explore two mending techniques for woven (non-stretchy) fabrics, like jeans. In a modern era of fast fashion, you’ll want to join in this thrifty person’s guide to repairing your clothes and other popular items. Bring an item to mend and give it new life.

All repair materials are included in the cost of the workshop.
