Make Do & Mend

Come join us at Ed’s Mercantile for an exciting event filled with creativity! At Make Do & Mend, we believe in the power of repurposing and upcycling. Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or just starting out, this event is perfect for everyone!

Get ready to dive into a world of DIY projects, where you'll learn how to breathe new life into old items. From repairing clothes to revamping other household items made of fabric, we'll guide you through various techniques and share all the tips and tricks you'll need to mend everything, using both hand sewing and machine skills. No previous experience is necessary.

Discover the joy of giving new purpose to forgotten treasures and reducing waste. Join us at Ed’s Mercantile for a fun and informative hands-on workshop each week, and a chance to connect with like-minded individuals in the community.

What you'll learn:

-Visible mending, embroidery techniques and patchwork skills

-Working with different fabrics

-Basic sewing machine skills

-Invisible mending when you don't want the repair to be seen

We'll work on samples so you can practice the techniques.
Workshop includes all supplies.

Please bring one item of clothing or other fabric based item to class for repair if you would like or you can continue to work on the samples provided.
