Description

Sustain and maintain your treasured closet by learning basic sewing skills with Jennifer Lapin. Jennifer Lapan of Alteration Nation walks us through the basics of sewing on a machine. Learn how to thread a sewing machine, wind a bobbin and sew a straight hem. Guests are welcome to bring their machines for hands-on instruction. Free. Space is limited. theTwelve is a year-long art, retail, and gathering experiment for Beloved Comunity. This season, we are hosting a series of events called SUSTAIN around a value we hold close: caring for each other by caring for the earth. Part of this practice is engaged by consuming less, and by reusing what is already here--reducing waste and rethinking a throwaway culture.
