June Open Studio

This is the day of the month where we open our doors and accept appointment-free walk-in mini-mends and whole-pile drop-offs for pick-up on a later date.

Bring in a single item with minor issues for an on-the-spot mini mend, drop off your whole mending pile, or just come to chat about sewing and sustainability with us!

Check out our Instagram highlight for how to prep your pile and invite your friends through the Facebook event.

Can’t make the event but have your mending pile ready to go? You can always schedule a drop-off with us at our Church Hill studio location or Eco Inspired, our Southside drop-off and pick-up location. We even accept mail-in mending!

Dye-ing to Donate? Here are 2 calls for items you may have!

We’re accepting avocado pits for a natural dyeing project. Please bring any pits you have to spare to this event!

We had the pleasure of hosting Maya at our May Top Stitch & Friends event, a one-of-a-kind garment upcycler. One thing she’s having trouble sourcing is size small button-downs. If you have any you’d be willing to donate, please bring them to us at Open Studio to give to her!

Let's get your mending off your to-do list and through our door! Our studio is located at 401 N 23rd St. in the Church Hill neighborhood of Richmond, VA. There is typically ample street parking within a block or two. Seam you there!
