This small hands-on class will be focused on repairing holes in non-stretch fabrics, particularly denim and twill. You will learn how to repair a garment of your own (or practice on scrap fabric) and leave being able to repair your own items! You will even get a little kit of take-home supplies for your personal mending projects.
This course welcomes brand-new menders and those with experience. The workshop will focus on woven garments such as jeans, denim or twill jackets (not athletic or rain wear), cotton twill pants, linen pants and non-stretch shirts. Twill looks like there are diagonal lines running down the fabric, which are created by the weave.
This class is priced on a sliding scale. This means tickets are available at a variety of prices so that our classes are accessible to people of a variety of economic situations. If you are able to afford a higher price ticket, please do so as the lower price tickets are limited. There are 2 available spots for free tickets and 2 for $10 tickets.
Proceeds from tickets go directly to paying our wonderful instructors and anything leftover is used by Repair PDX to continue hosting events and workshops like this one!
