About this Event
You've heard of Valentine's Day, Galentine's Day, but how about a little celebration of love for your hard-working garments? No repair too small or too big. Bring your mending pile and let's get your clothes fixed up.
Our focus will be on Visible Mending, whether for knits, woven, or stretchy clothes. We'll talk through the best techniques for your needs, and then you'll have time to work on your repair(s) in good company.
Location: Kwartzlab (145 Bedford Rd in Kitchener, 2nd floor)
Date/time: Feb 22, 1-4 pm and 5-8 pm (2 sessions)
Cost: $25 NOTAFLOF - no one turned away for lack of funds ;)
Buy a ticket via Worth Mending or bring cash to the venue.
Choose your own adventure! Beginner skills you'll learn might include:
- Basic hand-stitching techniques
- Basic sewing machine instruction
- When to mend something by hand vs. by machine
- When to sew a patch over a hole vs. darning it
- Tips on caring for your clothes to make them last longer
We will have lots of patching fabric, thread, needles, sewing machines and (hopefully) just about anything else you can think of available for your mending needs. Bring questions, bring your own project to work on, or practice your chops and stitches using our samples.
