Verysweetlife Studio, in collaboration with Fixer’s Collective, is hosting a special mending session on Wednesday, March 13th: Patches!

Bring a CLEAN cloth item with a hole (up to 3” wide) to mend and any good fabric for a patch. We’ll have extra patching fabric on hand. Blankets, pants, jackets, skirts…we’ll show you how to make functional and personalized patches to extend their wear. If you already know how to sew come share your skills.

320 Dean Street between 3rd and 4th Ave,
2nd floor
Brooklyn, NY 11217

6:30-8:30 p.m.  Please come early so we’ve time to get that patch done!

$6 donation suggested.

Verysweetlife Studio is building a community of seamsters-for sustainability’s sake!
