Announcing - Repair and Renew Sewing Workshop by Deepika Prakash
Learn to extend the life of your clothes by simple mending techniques with Deepika. Hemming and mending are valuable skills that contribute to sustainable practices. Some knowledge of using a sewing machine may be required but not always necessary. The workshop will be limited to 15 people (Adults and Teens) so we can learn effectively.
Repair and Renew Sewing is a partnership between Sargent Memorial Library in Boxborough and Acton Memorial Library in Acton. We meet every month, but alternate locations between the libraries bi-monthly.
During this first workshop, we will learn visible mending. In this method, the stitches are done by hand and are visible. It adds a whimsical element to the clothes and is also very trendy. Do you have any Jeans or pants which are worn out? Bring them to the workshop and learn this empowering and fun technique. This is a hand sewing workshop and no prior knowledge of sewing or a sewing machine is necessary. This is a great one to bring your teen to as well! Needles, Thread and other sewing supplies will be provided.
Funded by the Friends of the Acton Libraries.
