Description

Join our Living History crew as we demonstrate 1930's period mending techniques that are still useful today. Bring your own mending if you’d like, and join in! Learn to sew on a button, patch a rip, or darn a sock. We can’t fix it for you, but we can provide the atmosphere, and advice that will get you started learning skills that will save you money, and extend the life of your wardrobe.

Reservation or Registration: No
