# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Mending Skills: Patching & Beyond
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 30 May, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Sat, 30 May, 2026 at 03:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Are you hanging onto a beloved piece of clothing with a growing tear or stubborn coffee stain? Don’t toss them—transform them! Mending is one of the most effective ways to make your wardrobe more sustainable while adding a personal, artistic touch to your clothes. 

In this hands-on workshop, you will learn the running stitch and other hand-sewing techniques to securely close rips in woven fabrics like denim, linen, and cotton. We’ll also teach you simple embroidery stitches—such as the satin stitch or lazy daisy—to turn unsightly spots into decorative floral or geometric designs. Plus, discover how to apply fabric patches (both sewn-on and iron-on) to cover larger holes or stains using contrasting colors and textures for a unique look.

Bring 1–2 clean garments in need of repair (jeans, shirts, or tote bags work best), as well as any "beloved scraps" or special patches you’d like to incorporate. All other tools, including needles, thread, and practice fabric, will be provided.

This class is perfect for absolute beginners and experienced sewists alike. If you can thread a needle, you can learn to save your clothes! No prior experience is required.

Join us to gain the skills, confidence, and inspiration to keep your favorite pieces in rotation for years to come. Cost is $20-25.
