Patched Up! - a workshop in the Wardrobe Repair 101 Series with Wear Test Studios

Wardrobe Repair Workshop #2: Patched Up!

This second workshop in the Wardrobe Repair 101 series from Wear Test Studios will allow us to salvage our favorite pieces while giving them some personality!

Patches are one of the easiest ways to personalize and preserve your garments. We’ll cover iron-on vs. sew-on methods, when to use each, and how to apply them so they actually last. Leave with a new skill and a newly refreshed piece.

Bring your own garment that needs patching or shop from Surseen’s $5 bin to create a new unique piece! Patches and basic sewing supplies will be provided.

*No experience needed, just a willingness to play! Seasoned sewists welcome too. This series is about building a community, practicing sustainability, reclaiming your wardrobe, and learning the small things that make a big difference.

Private shopping hour from 5 - 6 pm. Workshop from 6 - 8 pm.
