Please RSVP on website here

Hello fellow Menders and Fiber Enthusiasts!
With just a few simple stitches and reclaimed fabrics you can transform the clothes you rarely wear into your go-to garments of choice. In this slow stitch workshop we’ll express ourselves in color, texture and stitch by making perfectly imperfect, small scale fabric collages. All sewing levels encouraged! Hosted by Paige St-Pierre, a Seattle based textile artist, zero waste advocate and sustainable clothing specialist on a mission to normalize textile repair and reuse.

WHAT WILL BE PROVIDED?
Botanically hand dyed, vintage and reclaimed fabrics, needles, threads, scissors and iron-on material will all be provided. Participants are encouraged to bring in a garment they’d like to transform as color inspiration for their fabric collage.

WHERE TO FIND SEWING SUPPLIES?
If you're in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, you can visit fabric store, Stitches.
If you're in the Greenwood neighborhood, you can find very affordable used sewing supplies at Seattle ReCreative.
Or, check out your local Goodwill in the linens section for basic sewing supplies as well, although, this can be pretty hit or miss.

LOCATION: Summit Selvage is located on the corner of 12th Ave and Pike St in Capitol Hill, Seattle. The entrance door will be propped open on the 12th Ave side. The space is down the stairs and the last door on your left. The basement is shared with dance studios, and has unisex bathrooms on the third floor.
