Bring your clothes that need some love, and we'll either repair them, remake them into something fabulous, or turn one piece into a pattern you can wear again and again.

Beautiful things happen when we work together.

Virtual Mending Monday

April 6th, 7-9 PM
Online via Zoom. Contact me for details. $30

Gather up your hand sewing, mending, and clothing/housewares/soft toys that need repair. I'll bring my full kit, and together we'll get that mending pile down to a manageable level.

Let's mend the world instead of trashing it.
