LEARN HOW TO MEND YOUR OWN CLOTHES

Mending Circles are bi-monthly community events where anyone is welcome to meet and mingle while giving their damaged item a second life. Each event has volunteers ready to teach you the necessary techniques and practices so you can repair your one item during the event and in the future. We provide the sewing machines and basic supplies, so just bring your item and any specific patches you might want. No sewing experience required!

Check out our FAQ below for details about what to expect and how you can join the next one.

FAQ

  • No! Our volunteers will either lead you through the repairs, or step in when needed.

  • Depending on the repair they will at first attempt to teach, and then step in when necessary to make sure your item is taken care of.

  • No! Just bring your item. If you have a special patch or something in mind, feel free to bring in those supplies.

  • Clothing is what we are focused on during these mending circles. Feel free to bring in stuffed animals as well. If you have a specific item in mind that you are unsure about please feel to email amanda@denvertoolibrary.org for questions. As of now we are not mending upholstery, sleeping bags, and drapes.

  • One item only please.

  • If you already know how to mend and want to share your skills with others, email amanda@denvertoollibrary.org
