This is an introductory class on the basics of clothing repair, focusing on non-stretch woven fabrics. We will go over selection of materials, hand sewing techniques, and multiple ways to sew a patch with a decorative flair. No prior sewing experience necessary! Participants are welcome to bring a damaged garment to work on, but samples and fabric to work with will also be provided.
This was a big year for the Reuse Alliance. By far the biggest leap we took this year was opening The Reuse Hub, a brick and mortar location in the Petaluma Village Premium Outlets, where we are raising the visibility of reuse resources in the North Bay. The Hub provides office space, staging and storage for all our operations and exponentially expands our ability to serve the public. We are open five days a week and offering additional services, including workshops (in all four types of reuse), repair consultations by appointment, community events (panels, roundtables, meet-ups, swaps), and more.
