Learn how to creatively mend your clothes and refashion thrift store finds, and keep fabric items out of the landfill. In this class, Gaby will demonstrate fashionable mending stitches and techniques, and how to repurpose garments. A list of vintage, thrift and second hand stores in Santa Cruz County and a supply resource list will be provided.

There will be hands-on opportunities to try some of these techniques. Fabric and supplies will be provided. You are also welcome to bring a piece from your own wardrobe to work on.

TBE member Gaby Litsky is an experienced quilter and sewer and has pursued art quilting for many years. She has started to explore techniques for repurposing garments instead of sending them to the landfill.
