Community Threads @ NESTL

Got a collection of hole-filled socks you can't get rid of? Have you been meaning to set aside time for your latest alteration, but need some motivation? Come mend with us!

Our Community Threads mending and sewing circle is a monthly event for anyone to work on their textile projects. Any textile craft is welcome! Honestly, any craft is welcome, but we will only be providing sewing supplies (at least at first). There will be sewing machines, fabric, thread and community, as well as hot tea.

This will not be a class format, while there will be experienced menders present to offer advice and counsel, this is intended as a co-working space.

Can't make it to this one? We plan to host it on the second weekend of each month: The second Saturday at the Shoreline Tool Library and the second Sunday at the NE Seattle Tool Library! As it grows, we may change it to a different day, but we'll let you know on social media.

ACCESSIBILITY: 

• Much of the NE Seattle Tool Library interior is wheelchair accessible.  All entrances have ramps that may exceed a 5 degree slope. The all-gender restroom is quite small and not ADA compliant. 
• Non-English and ASL interpreters are not provided at our classes and events, however attendees are welcome to bring their own interpreters.
