July DIY Textile Workshop w/ Claudia

Learn to mend your own textiles with Claudia, who is a professional seamstress with 30+ years experience!

This small hands-on class will be focused on repairing holes in non-stretch fabrics, particularly denim & twill. You will learn how to repair a garment of your own (or practice on scrap fabric) and leave being able to repair your own items! You will even get a little kit of take-home supplies for your personal mending projects!

This course welcomes brand-new menders and those with experience.

You will learn to repair woven garments such as jeans, denim or twill jackets (not athletic or rain wear), cotton twill pants, linen pants and non-stretch shirts. Twill has a texture with diagonal lines running down the fabric, which are created by the weave.

Repair supplies are provided. Class is capped at 8 participants.
