Mending Night with Swap DC
Don’t toss it — mend it!
Sustainable fashion starts with keeping what you already own in rotation. Learn the essential skills to repair your rips and worn-and-torn pieces in your closet.
This workshop is all about the practical side of up-cycling: patching fixing hems and reinforcing your pieces. Bring in your “to-fix” items and learn how to give your clothes a second life. It’s practical, eco-friendly, and a skill you’ll use forever to save money and the planet.
This workshop is for any one who wants to learn about recycling or upcycling a piece they already have. All ages are welcome. During the workshop guests will learn about the different ways to mend clothing have an opportunity to use patches to decorate clothing and learn textile facts. The goal is to reduce textile waste and build environmental literacy while building community.
This event is free and open to attendees of all ages. Children 17 and younger must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or an adult 25+.
