Nov 22 - Clothes Mending 101

Mending clothes keeps them out of landfills and lets us wear favorite items for much longer. This workshop will cover a variety of common mending needs and all materials will be provided. Once registered, you will be invited to send in pictures of the items you will be mending so that we can do our best to have the right thread and yarn colors on hand.

The workshop is divided into three sections, each focusing on a different kind of common mending. Come for just one part or all of the workshop.
