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.

As everybody knows, you need the right tool to do the job right. But what if that tool costs several thousand dollars and you only need it once? Enter the tool lending library.
Across the country tool lending libraries provide tools for people in need, people looking to learn and experiment, and community groups and disaster relief. Lear about Tool Libraries and find one near you in this month’s issue of Reuse News.
