Craft Corner: Creative Mending

Join Sequoia Fabrica for a creative evening of clothing customization, refashioning, and visible mending. Bring your own T-shirt, sweatshirt, or favorite yet damaged knits, jeans, or jackets and make them special! Make your well-loved clothes last longer by exploring Sashiko-inspired embroidery techniques, basic cloth repair techniques (reattaching buttons, patching, darning), and cloth prints — either adding a personalized touch or offering your garment a second life.

Sequoia Fabrica’s crew of expert menders and makers will provide demos and guidance, making sure you can save your special clothing through your own handiwork. This event is open to absolute beginners — even if you’ve never held a needle, don’t be afraid to participate!

Craft Corner will be a three-part series of hands-on workshops for all ages and skill levels. Stay tuned to our Events page for more dates.
