Art From Scrap – Intro to Mending Workshop

Do you have a favorite item of clothing that needs to be mended?

Join Art From Scrap, an Explore Ecology program, for a workshop this Friday with Kolby Holdsworth of Dire Woof Repair & Reworks. Learn how to patch and fix garments so you never have to say goodbye to a favorite pair of jeans because of a rip in the knee again. Kolby will teach you how to add patches to a torn item and mend with a sewing machine to repair clothes and lengthen their lifecycle.

Please bring one ripped or torn item of clothing to be repaired during the workshop. Items made out of woven materials such as canvas, denim, linen and cotton are ideal. Thicker fabric generally holds up better to repairs.

This $30 workshop includes two hours of instruction, access to sewing machines, and all materials necessary to patch your article of clothing.

*Please do not bring stretchy items made of knit fabric such as leggings.
