In this class we will use scrap fabric and a sewing machine to repair large holes and rips. You are invited to bring in your own clothing that needs repair.
When it comes to keeping our favorite clothes in rotation and out of the landfill, learning how to repair them is essential. *Note: Please do not bring any stretchy, knit, and extremely thin fabrics as they cannot be used for this class. Go for cottons and other medium weight textiles.
You’re invited to interweave yourself into the community through this expansive beginner’s sewing series. Your instructor, Jackie Drummond (they/she), will be guiding you through the basics of using a sewing machine and various stitching and sewing methods through all of February. You can come to each lesson or hop around into whatever class, skill or interest calls you!
Experience threading/setting up a sewing machine is recommended to attend this class. All supplies will be provided. Appropriate for adults and teens 13 and older. Space is limited; registration required. Please visit our online calendar to register.
