Mindful mending, clothing repair, and sewing lessons
Weaving sustainability back into the fabric of our society.
Top Stitch Mending provides a full range of clothing repair and mending services.
Our services help clothes and family heirlooms stay in circulation and out of landfills. We are always thinking of the original garment worker and hope to pay tribute to them, one stitch at a time. The fabric and thread cuttings produced in our studio are reused in the repair process and in our team’s own individual art practices. For any task we take on, we strive for the lowest environmental impact.

We will guide you through the ins and outs of hand sewing over the span of several pre-recorded videos. This course will give you a good foundation for repairing items in your home and closet. Each lesson will feature detailed tutorials and examples of how to apply the techniques — all at your own pace.
