Clothing Repair and Mending Basics

A beginner’s introduction into hand sewing and clothing repair techniques! In this class we’ll discuss the importance of the “make do and mend” mentality, learn the basic skills needed to sew a button, repair or patch a hole and mend a seam.

Hand sewing is a fun and rewarding skill to know, and this is a welcoming, thoughtful introduction for absolute beginners. Join us!
