Care & Repair: Free Mending [Special Edition]

Meeting Room 115
Saturday, Sep 7, 2024, 2:00pm to 4:00pm

Stop by to have your items repaired. Menders will be available on site to help repair items, and teach basic mending skills. 

Do you have clothing or other fabric items that need mending? Sewers from the Sewing Machine Project are offering free mending. These helpful sewers mend clothing and can handle any other fabric-related repairs (exception: no zipper repairs). 

3-4 skilled volunteers will also be available to teach mending skills. This is your chance to ask questions, and learn the basics for mending your own items at home. No sign-up required! 

This program is part of the Care & Repair program series, which is made possible thanks to support from Beyond the Page, National Endowment for the Humanities and Madison Community Foundation. See all upcoming programs at madpl.org/careandrepair.

About the Sewing Machine Project:  The Sewing Machine Project's mission is to offer sewing tools and education to groups committed to learning new skills, building self-confidence and potentially contributing to their own livelihood as well as the well-being of their families and communities.
