Jeans and Pants Mending

Repair your favorite jeans! Patch holes, fix belt loops & mend worn spots. All skill levels welcome — just bring your pants!

Do you have a favorite pair of jeans or pants that needs repair so you can wear them again? Maybe they are worn thin from biking, or a belt loop has torn out. Holes in the knees, rips in the pocket. Let's see if we can fix them! Learn how to machine or hand sew these areas so you can wear them again. Some sewing machine experience is nice, but not necessary. Patching materials included, just bring your jeans/pants.
