Clothing Repair Workshop

Details

Update on location. Nine Grand Catering has moved out of the building and so our repair workshop had to move into the OlyMEGA space.
There are stairs to get to the classroom.
This class is held every odd Thursday, because I am odd. 😉
The best way to reduce the need to buy more clothes is to take care of what you have. Come learn how to repair, reenforce and beautify your clothes to give them more life.
Holes in your socks? Darning will strengthen your sole. (Pun intended.)
Rip in your pants? Color match a patch or go wild with a fun pattern.
Popped a seam or tore your coat? Thread and needle are your friends, either using a sewing machine or by hand.
Holes in sweaters and sweatshirts disappear.
I am Teresa and welcome you to bring your clothes that need some extra love. Clothing repair materials and tools are available for use on site.
You can learn:

  • Basic Repairs: Techniques to sew on buttons, mend rips and tears, and fix loose hems.
  • Creative Patching: Methods for patching worn areas in a way that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
  • Fabric Knowledge: Understanding different fabric types and the best repair methods for each.
  • Tool Use: Proper use of sewing tools like needles, threads, thimbles, scissors, and sewing machines.
