Clothing Repair Basics

  • The Refillery 1931 Murray Avenue Pittsburgh, PA, 15217 United States (map)

Learn the basics of mending on your own clothing by hand! If you've always wanted to learn how to sew on a button, sew up a seam, patch a hole, or repair small tears in a garment, we welcome you to join us at the Refillery Pgh in Squirrel Hill. Ages 18+

Old Flame Mending will provide all sewing materials, but participants should bring garments that are in need of mending. Recommended items: clothes with a loose or missing button / hook + eye, items that have a small tear or items that have a small hole (holes should be smaller than a quarter).

Lightweight woven fabrics and lightweight- heavyweight knits recommended. Not recommended: denim, leather, heavy duty fabrics, sweaters, complex repairs like zipper replacement, etc.

With admission, participants will receive a sewing kit to take home, which will include scissors, a variety of needles, 1 spool of thread, and a thimble.
