Mending 101: Hems, Buttons, and Patches

Ages: 16+

Level:  Easy - sewing machine experience is optional.

We provide:  Needles, thread, scraps for patching, and optional use of a sewing machine, plus three hours of expert instruction tailored to the project(s) you bring.

You bring:  1-3 mending projects that require patching, hemming, or attaching buttons. We will provide some scrap cotton fabric for patching, but you may choose to bring your own if you have specific preferences or will be mending a specialty type of fabric. Please also bring any buttons you require. Please note that due to the individualized nature of the class, you may not complete all the mending you bring.

Class length: 3 hours

Mending is an essential life skill that it is never too late to learn. In this fun and informal workshop, local designer and sewing professional Jan Lloyd will demonstrate essential mending techniques as each student works through their own projects that require one of the following repairs: shortening, lengthening, or repairing a hem; reattaching or replacing a button; or patching. You'll leave with a lifelong skill set that will help you get more out of the things you love. 

Limited to 5 students. Requires 3 participants to run. In the event of cancellation due to low enrollment, registered participants will receive notice and a refund 3 days prior to the scheduled date.

Please note our sewing studio space is on the second floor with no elevator access. We sincerely apologize for any difficulty this creates. Don't hesitate to contact us with questions at hello@notionvt.com.
