Clothing Repair Skills

Service Description

Extend the life of your wardrobe and pick up practical mending skills you can actually use, all in a space where every question is welcome. In our Chicago-based clothing mending sessions, you will learn essential wardrobe repair skills, from fixing small rips and popped hems to reinforcing seams on pieces that get a lot of love. We break down clothes repair workshops into simple, bite-sized techniques, making each lesson accessible and stress-free whether you sew every week or you're totally new to a needle and thread. No shame if you have a stack of repairs waiting; we'll help you pick the most effective method, explain which repairs are possible, and teach you how to decide between patching, stitching, and creative "invisible" fixes for anything from denim to delicate knits. Our garment repair classes also emphasize sustainability - you leave knowing how to keep your garments wearable instead of sending them to landfill, which saves you money and supports greener living. Bring your pieces in need of love or use our practice samples, and walk out ready to rescue your favorite clothes.
