This hands-on home economics class focuses on practical mending skills and mindful clothing care. Participants are encouraged to bring at least one item from their “mend pile” at home to work on together. You’ll learn how to mend a sock, identify different textiles and how to properly care for them, and gain confidence extending the life of your clothes. We’ll also host a “trade blanket” for winter and spring clothing, inviting a good old-fashioned clothes swap to support sustainable fashion and community sharing. If the mood strikes, we’ll wrap things up with a casual fashion show to celebrate repaired, traded, and re-loved pieces—because sustainability should be practical and fun.
