Learn how to repair your clothing in an exquisite way instead of throwing it away!

Tired of the clothes in your closet, but don't want to spend any money? Upcycling is a smart option to give your outfits an upgrade. 

In this edition of upcycle club, we will be learning about sashiko- a Japanese method of visible mending where clothing is repaired and reinforced with a series of stitches. 

Jenna will teach you the basics of visible mending, and teach you on scrap pieces of fabric.

This program is beginner-friendly, and all materials and tools will be provided. If you'd like, you can bring your own damaged clothing to mend. 

For more information on this program, contact Jenna at jjones@nlrlibrary.org.
