Mending-Sewing Basics

Free

with To Be Determined

Sewing has become a lost art for most people.  Some sewing such as hemming, repairing tears and replacing buttons can save you a lot of time and money if you do it yourself. 

Join us to learn the basics. You'll learn the tools and techniques while making your own sewing kit, including sewing on buttons and snaps, repairing a rip in your jeans, or fixing a hole in your shirt. You'll also learn to hem pants and a skirt, and fix a separated zipper or broken zipper pull.  Supplies will be provided.  This is an in-person class.
