9Zero Mending Lab with Karen LePage
The most sustainable clothes you can wear are the ones you already own. With some basic skills, you can rescue more of your favorite items than you might think, and you don’t need any experience to get started.
You bring your broken things - your mending guide Karen LePage brings everything else. All the supplies you need, encouragement, and instruction when you need it are available to you at our Mending Lab on December 11.
Karen is happy to show you different ways to fix your garments, bags, tablecloths, or stuffed animals, whatever needs repair, and she shares the tools you need to do it.
Let’s get together for an evening at 9Zero to take care of ourselves, our textiles, and the environment all at the same time.
