Basic Hand-Mending: Buttons & Repairs
Tuesday May 22, 6pm to 9pm

If you've forgotten or never learned how to sew on a button, stitch up a drooping hem or mend a torn garment, then this beginner hand-sewing class is for you. Why retire damaged clothes or get over-charged for basic repairs at the drycleaners, when you can learn how to easily remedy rips, tears and holes yourself? It's a no-brainer, once you have the basic techniques down. Participants are encouraged to bring along their hole-y sock, snagged sweaters, rogue buttons, ripped jeans or whatever garments need mending to practice on.
