Family Sewing Class: Clothing Repair

Clothes rip, buttons fall off, and uniforms need badges—but what if you could fix these small problems yourself instead of throwing garments away? This Family Sewing Class in Clothing Repair  is a fun and practical hand-mending class designed for families. Whether you’re a parent wanting to teach your child essential life skills or a young sewist eager to learn, this hands-on workshop will show you how to repair your clothes with confidence.

In this friendly and relaxed session, we’ll cover:
✔️ How to sew on a button securely so it stays put
✔️ Repairing split seams to make clothes last longer
✔️ Mending small tears with simple, nearly invisible stitches
✔️ Attaching fabric patches and badges—perfect for Cub and Brownie uniforms!

Why Learn Hand-Mending?
Knowing how to mend your clothes is an essential skill that saves money, reduces waste, and promotes sustainability. Instead of throwing out a shirt because of a missing button or buying a new school uniform when a seam comes undone, you’ll be able to fix it in just a few minutes. Plus, mending is a mindful and creative activity that helps develop fine motor skills and patience in kids—great for boosting their confidence and independence. Also, by learning to mend their clothes, items, children gain an appreciation for sustainable fashion and reducing waste.

This class is suitable for complete beginners—no prior sewing experience needed! We’ll provide all materials, including needles, thread, fabric, and buttons, so you can simply bring along any garments that need a little TLC.

By the end of the session, you and your child will have the skills to tackle everyday clothing repairs with ease. Join us for the Family Sewing Class in Clothing Repair and take the first step toward a more sustainable, self-sufficient lifestyle—one stitch at a time!
