Repair Fair

Do you have clothing or other textile items at home in need of mending? A broken zipper, missing button, or slightly-too-long sleeve? Bring them to our Repair Fair!

Rachael Wein of Grove House Sewing Studio will show you how to make small repairs to a variety of items. Extending the life of your clothing, handbags, and accessories helps save money and keep usable items out of landfills.

If you have scrap fabric you would like to use in the repair (e.g. as a patch), please bring that as well as the item to repair. Some scrap fabric will also be available, as well as hand sewing supplies so you can learn how to repair items yourself. Rachael will also have a sewing machine she'll use for more serious repairs.

Registration is appreciated but not required. To see full details and register, visit our events website: https://forbeslibrary.libcal.com/event/15673266
