Thrift Store Clothing Rehab
Learn practical skills that support a more sustainable world.
Purchasing secondhand clothing is a sustainable practice. We will show participants how to make the following adjustments* so you can have a wider variety of options when selecting from your favorite shops:
- shorten pants or skirts at the hem
- replace a button
- patch a hole
- make a waist smaller
- replace a missing drawstring
- restitching seams that have opened
- techniques to remove stains
- repairing holes in T-shirts
* Programmers: you can choose the topics you would like covered during the workshop. The number of topics covered is dependent on allotted time and number of sessions.
Some sewing experience helpful, but not required. All materials will be supplied for use during the workshop.
