Have a favorite item of clothing in your mending pile that just needs more attention than you can give it? Maybe you’ve got a dozen!? Bring your mending pile and let an experienced sewist guide you through stitching & repairs. Button replacement/reattachment, reinforcing seams, hemming, repairing tears, even simple alterations are all possible. Please bring an item (or several) that you want to work on. In our two hours together, we will get to as many fixes as we can!
