WORKSHOP

mending night with swap dc (sold out)

Don’t toss it, mend it! Learn the essential skills to repair your rips + worn-and-torn pieces in your closet. Sustainable fashion starts with keeping what you already own in rotation. This workshop is all about the practical side of up-cycling: patching, fixing hems, and reinforcing your pieces. Bring in your "to-fix" items and learn how to give your clothes a second life. It’s practical, eco-friendly, and a skill you’ll use forever to save money and the planet.

Ticket price: Free (RSVP required)
