Couldn't load pickup availability
When: Saturday, October 25th, 2-4pm
Difficulty: No sewing experience required!
About: Come repair your clothing & textile homewares! No sewing experience required. Bring some things with holes/stains/zipper issues and sew them up on the spot (hopefully!). Feel free to email with any questions/concerns about your project(s). All sewing skills welcome, most repairs are much easier than you think! :) We can also work on quick alterations like hems.
The class capacity is 5 people, so you'll get lots of 1-1 time!
Project ideas:
- Split seams, rips, tears
- Worn areas
- Broken zipper pull
- Missing buttons/snaps
Machines available to use:
- Home sewing machines
- Coverstitch machine (stretchy hems!)
- Serger
- Embroidery machine (just letters and numbers, not promised it won't eat your garment, proceed with caution)
- Industrial machine (if you have some sewing experience and want to test it out!)
We also have lots of little fabric pieces, thread, hand sewing supplies, and repair supplies.
