Mend it Yourself in Lansdowne

Don't throw it away—repair it! Join us for an evening of practical sewing skills, creative problem-solving, and community care. This hands-on mending workshop is designed for anyone who wants to extend the life of their clothing while learning foundational sewing techniques. Participants are encouraged to bring one or two garments in need of repair. We'll begin with a sewing machine demonstration covering machine setup, threading, and straight stitching, followed by guided practice to help everyone become comfortable using the equipment. After introductions, each participant will have the opportunity to share what they brought and the story behind it. Together, we'll explore repair options and spend the remainder of the workshop working on mending projects with individualized guidance and support. Whether you're fixing a favorite pair of jeans, patching a jacket, or repairing a treasured garment, you'll gain practical skills that can help you care for your clothing for years to come.
