Radical Mending
Free | 2hrs | Ages 16+
No experience required
Radical Mending focuses on hand sewing. Machines will not be available for use.
Bring up to three items in need of mending and learn new skills from community members! Volunteers will be assisting participants in mending clothing, bags, toys, and more. Whether you are completely new to mending or just need a little advice, volunteers will work you one-on-one to help you with your mending goals.
See below for what volunteers can and can't assist with.
This event is for mending only--we won't be able to do any clothing alterations such as hemming during this time
