Mending Meetup

Regular Mending Meetup at PEX!

All skill levels welcome.

Bring your socks, pants, shirts, etc. to fix. Have experience darning, or sewing/hemming? Bring your expertice and share with the community to mend textiles and ensure they have a long life.

What to expect - This meetup is casual, drop in when you can, skill share. There will be people with different levels of skills attending, but everyone loves sharing knowledge and talking about each other's projects. A variety of supplies will be on hand. Often times a sewing machine is available, but most repairs are done with hand mending. Generally, you can expect support to learn how to sew a patch, darn a sock, replace a button.

What NOT to expect - This is not a sewing workshop with step by step instruction. Often times experienced sewers will guide first timers, but it's difficult to count on one on one extensive assistance. The mending meetup is also not a place to bring your projects hoping someone else will fix it for you. We are not professional tailors. These meetups are a place to learn those skills for yourself in a supportive and collaborative environment.
