Give your well-loved garments a second life. Whether you’re fixing a tear, reattaching a button, or adding a visible patch with personality, in this class you’ll learn to slow down, stitch with care, and find joy in the art of repair. We’ll explore simple sewing and hand-mending techniques — from patching and hemming to creative visible repairs that add beauty and character. All skill levels welcome. Basic supplies will be provided, and a sewing machine will be available for simple stitching. Bring one or two items in need of mending and a willingness to learn.
Fee: $54.00
