The Mending Library

Don’t throw away that pair of jeans with the hole or that sweater that’s been taken down by moths. Join a group of like-minded newbie menders and learn how to fix your own textiles at this friendly monthly gathering. You bring what you need to fix and any thread, needles, fabrics that you want to use. We’ll provide books, videos, and a little bit of experience to help you bring your textiles back to life while keeping them out of landfills! Please note: Moth-damaged woolens should be placed in a zip-top bag in the freezer for AT LEAST two days before being brought to the Mending Library. Keep your belongings from becoming part of the 92 MILLION TONS of textile waste every year. Mend and make do before you buy new!
