This is an ideas class versus a hands-on class. Participants are invited to bring favorite clothes for mending or upcycling ideas, but the instructor will focus ideas on how to:

• Make clothing in your closet go further by mending, patching, or upcycling.
• Make the best use of thrift stores – not only clothing, but fabric and materials throughout the store.
• Find materials now that JoAnn’s is gone. The instructor will provide lists of sources, including the Stashery at the Textile Center and places for fabric garage sales.
• Find free patterns on the internet.

The instructor will bring samples for the class to see and enjoy.

The registration link will be provided by mid-April.
