"Do you have...

...a stuffed animal with the stuffing leaking out?

...a shirt with a missing button?

...a hole you want to patch?

...a stain you want to cover up?

Bring it to the Mend with Friends mending club and let’s fix it together! If you are curious about sewing, we can also introduce beginners to some basic hand-sewing stitches.

No registration is required; bring your own items to mend, project to work on, or practice basic stitches with our fabric scraps! Limited mending supplies for hand sewing and casual instruction are available, but bringing your own favorite tools, extra buttons, fabric scraps, or experience to share is always appreciated.

Children are welcome to accompany their caregiver and learn alongside them.

We meet every month on the second Saturday!"
