Bored of your jeans? Devastated that your favorite jacket has a rip in the arm?
Gather them up and come to this Creative Repair workshop. We’ll work together to give your clothes new life and pizzazz.
Tears and looking blah don't have to mean the death of your clothes. In this workshop, you'll find creative ways to revive your pieces and add flair to match your personality. With the guidance of instructor Fifile Nguyen, you’ll be able to add zippers, buttons, pockets, patches, sequins, embroidery, and so much more to make your clothes feel like yours again.
*All sewing-experience-levels welcome.
