About the Event
Adulting can be hard, but Ijams can help you find fun ways to cope that also are fun and have an eco-friendly flair to it!
Join us for Sew it- Don't Throw it, A Sustainable Mending Workshop where you will focus on basic sewing techniques to mend your favorite clothes rather that just throwing them away.. You will learn how to fix seams, replace buttons, how to put a patch on clothes, etc.
Local artist, Laurie Kay, (creator of Monsters Made with Love) will be the instructor for this workshop. Don't worry if you don't know what you are doing, Laurie will take you step by step through the basics. All supplies will be included in this workshop. No experience necessary. All you have to do is bring in some clothing that you would like to fix- preferably ones that have some rips or worn spots, as well as clothing…
