Be kind to the planet and extend the life of your favorite clothing items by making small alterations and repairs yourself! Sewing supplies will be provided, along with instructions on how to mend different kinds of fabric and clothing. Bring clothes that need mending, hemming, or new buttons and leave with functional garments that you can wear and re-wear!
