About this Event
Need help getting your fabric back in tip-top shape? Come to NESTL the 4th Tuesday of each month for Fabric Fix-It!
We will have menders on site who can either offer advice on mending, or mend textiles for you. If your project goals are out of the scope of what we can accomplish in one evening, we will help you make a plan to carry out on your own.
Some common fixes include: hemming, patching small holes, reattaching buttons, and fixing or replacing zippers.
This will be our first fabric fix-it, so we will be limiting it to 2 items per person. If we find our menders are able to get items fixed, we would love to expand it to more! Feel free to bring supplies to fix your item, if you have them. We will have some supplies on hand. Please plan on sticking around while your items are fixed.
