Learn to repair woven denim or cotton rips and holes with embroidery techniques, including sashiko, a Japanese form of decorative reinforcement stitching. Led by artist-mender Jamie Hirano of Alpine Fit, this Seed Lab session includes live skill share.
Bring a denim item to repair. Basic supplies like needles, thread and scissors provided, or bring your own.
Arrive as early as 5:30 with your own self-guided project to connect, ask questions, and share repair skills with others. Teacher-guided demonstration begins at 6:30 p.m. Please bring a garment or two in need of repair, even if you are not sure it is repairable. Free; Registration recommended.
Seeding Repair workshops are building a culture of repair, working to transform our culture into one that repairs more readily than it purchases, to create a more sustainable community. Workshops on mending, repairing outdoor gear, upcycling and object fixing, along with the sharing of how-to skillsets, help remind all of us that low-cost repairs help the climate. Themes change monthly.
