In this hands-on workshop, parents and kids will learn basic sewing and mending techniques to fix torn clothes, replace buttons, patch up holes, and more. Whether it’s a beloved shirt with a missing button or jeans with a small tear, we’ll teach you how to repair them in a creative and eco-friendly way.

You will also learn about and explore some Creative Upcycling Ideas: Fun DIY ideas for turning old clothes into new items!
