Mend of the Month
Velcro & Elastic Swap
Wednesday, January 20
1:30pm - 2:30pm
Don’t toss it—fix it! Join us as we learn how to give new life to old items. This month, we’re focusing on how to do a Velcro and/or elastic swap.
Are your favourite Velcro shoes not sticking anymore? Have your favourite pair of shorts lost their elastic, and looking a little worse for wear?
This session, we are diving into the world of sewing basics. Whether you want to make your repairs blend in or stand out as a work of art, we’ll show you how it’s done.
We’ll provide the tools and the guidance; you bring the item that needs new Velcro or elastic swap. Let’s reduce waste and gain new skills together!
