About

Ready to give your favorite sweater a second life and a touch of whimsy? Join visible mending instructor Mariko Sugimori of Mona & Zoe Mending for a fun workshop where creativity meets sustainability. In this hands-on session, you’ll learn how to darn pesky moth holes and how to care for your woolens. Some sewing experience helps, but if you’re a confident beginner, you’re totally welcome. We’ve got all the sewing materials covered! No damaged knits? No problem. We’ll have knit squares to practice on. Mariko teaches joyful mending workshops all over eastern Massachusetts—come see why stitching your story into your clothes is the most fun you’ll have with a needle and thread. Presented in partnership with LexZeroWaste, Textiles/Mending Group. This program is made possible by the generous donors to the Cary Library Foundation.
