Stitching Workshops
Mending Party with Hot Girls’ Guide Zines
Ripped your favorite top? Thick thighs wearing out your jeans? Bring your clothes that need a little love to learn how to mend them together! Extending the life of our clothes keeps them out of the 92 million tons of annual textile waste produced globally.
We practice care for our clothes to:
+Preserve our individual, generational, and broader material culture
+Divest from capitalist overconsumption
+Practice an ethic of care that extends to relationships with human and non-human entities
+Build relationships with our community through a resource we all need!
We will go through a brief overview of mending history and discuss different mending techniques. The rest of the time will be an opportunity for you to work on your project with the help of the facilitator and tutorial resources.
