Make and Mend

BYO mending projects. I’ll be on hand to help, whether it’s darning, patching, or something else. Some basic supplies (needles, embroidery thread, pins, scissors, sewing machine, iron, interfacing, basic thread) will be provided.

Feel free to BYO handcraft, specific color thread, etc.

This gathering is about repairing our clothes and extending the life of our textile belongings, together. Come fix that hole in your sock, sew on that button, hem that pair of pants.

Show up, hang out, and fix your things.

While this isn’t a formal workshop or class, support is available for problem solving and technique. We can look at things and figure them out together. Some sewing experience is helpful, but not required. Demos are available for new techniques and tricks.
Every other Wednesday evening, 6:30-8:30pm, at Starr Garden Community Center. Suggested donation is $10 for supplies, but everyone is welcome regardless. Pay what you can, and no one is turned away for lack of funds.

About your Host: Hi I’m Tess and I’ll be there, fixing my socks and sweaters, my homie’s pant button, etc. Usually darning by hand. I'm an artist and apprenticing tailor. I love sewing, weaving, and creative problem solving - big and small. I think gathering and practicing skills of resilience is powerful in our times, and fun. Let's creatively repair together!
About your Location: This event is located in the Starr Garden Playground rec center. When you enter the gates for the playground you will walk to the right of the building to the entrance that is facing Lombard Street.
