Bring your favorite beverage & your mending basket and let's get stitching! We provide materials, tools & assistance- you bring the booze!
Are all those little repairs sitting in the corner staring you down? We're here to help! Bring a beverage (or just yourself and your mending) and join us for an early evening stitch-n-b*tch one Saturday a month. And, bonus-- as soon as you fix it, you can wear it out to wherever you're going next!
We provide:
- Tables you don't have to clean off before you use them
- Pins & Needles you don't have to locate before you start or clean out of your carpet when you're done.
- Black, white, and tan thread (please BYO thread if you need a specific color match)
- Sewing machines
- Professional textile artists to advise, consult, and help you figure out how to un-jam the sewing machines.
- Scrap fabrics and trims
- Iron and board
- Jewelry pliers, jump rings, really good lighting, and someone else to help you hold the thing while you do the other thing.
- Necklace clasps
