Have a pair of jeans that are so well loved that there's just not much left to cover the parts that need to be covered? We've got you covered at our Repair Fair! We'll have folks on-site ready to help you repair your favorite pair of jeans or anything you need help sewing.

Meanwhile, we'll also be recycling and upcycling denim into string bags and/or zip bags. There are many more ideas for using old jeans. If you want a different project, feel free to bring the instructions and we'll help you navigate the jeans skinning process.

Here's a Pinterest board where I keep my class ideas:

I've got some denim re-use on it, check it out!

Don't have any sewing experience? Don't worry! We'll teach you! What? No machine? We got that too. We're cool like that.



Since we're sewing denim, you'll need to have your machine ready with a size 16 needle. I'll bring extras. Denim isn't always a needle killer, but gets exciting when it comes to sewing over lots of seams.




What you'll learn:
darning
piecing weird shapes
"eyeballing it"
"mistakes" turning into "design choices" before your very eyes!

Cost:
This one is a public place freebie! Space is limited, but denim is seldom in short supply.

What we're doing:
This is an absolute beginner's group for people that want to know how to sew.
