Are all those little repairs sitting in the corner staring you down? We're here to help! Bring a beverage (or just yourself and your mending) and join us for an early evening stitch-n-b*tch one Saturday a month. And, bonus-- as soon as you fix it, you can wear it out to wherever you're going next!

We provide:

Tables you don't have to clean off before you use them
Pins & Needles you don't have to locate before you start or clean out of your carpet when you're done.
Black, white, and tan thread (please BYO thread if you need a specific color match)
Sewing machines
Professional textile artists to advise, consult, and help you figure out how to un-jam the sewing machines.
Scrap fabrics and trims
Iron and board
Jewelry pliers, jump rings, really good lighting, and someone else to help you hold the thing while you do the other thing.
Necklace clasps

Also available for a nominal fee:

These are items that usually have to be purchased in packs or multi-project quantities. We sell them at a per-item price so that you don't have to buy a $7 pack of snaps when all you need is a single $1 snap.

Buttons
Snaps
Fusible interfacing

This event is open to students ages 21+ at all levels of experience.
