Description

Clothing repair is not only valuable skill for day-to-day life, it can also save you money and reduce your environmental footprint at the same time! In this class, you’ll learn basic hand sewing techniques to mend small tears, sew on buttons, and repair fallen hems through lots of hands on experience and practice. The first part of class will focus on learning a variety of hand stitching techniques. Then, you’ll put your new skills to use by mending a piece of clothing from home — we’ll cover the whole process, from deciding what sort of stitch is best for the job and answer any questions you have along the way. If you’re feeling intimidated by using a sewing machine or just looking to get started, this hand sewing tutorial is the perfect class for you.   Natalie Love is a lover of learning and living things! After completing an internship at Fox Haven Learning Center in 2020, she is joyfully sharing her enthusiasm by stepping into the role of supportive facilitator and teacher. In her upcoming classes, Natalie will share her love and lessons of the natural world of herbalism, plant dyeing, fiber art, toolmaking, and tea preparation.
