Next Up: Open Studio!
Mini-mends only! Join us at the studio for our appointment-free walk-in event. Let's get those items waiting to be mended off your to-do list and back in your rotation. Bring in a single item for an on-the-spot mini mend, or just come to chat about sewing and sustainability with us. We’ll also have mending kits, t-shirt rugs, and denim patch kits available! It’s a great time to bring by your out-of-season wears with tears.
Can’t make the event but have your mending pile all ready to go? You can always schedule a mending drop-off with us at our Church Hill studio location or Eco Inspired, our Southside drop-off and pick-up location. We even accept mail-in mending!
Find the Facebook event here and check out our Instagram highlight for how to prep your pile. See you there!
Open Studio
Open Studio is a monthly walk-in day where you can drop off your mending pile, have a single item with a simple repair -aka mini mend- fixed on the spot, or check us out to see what we're all about!
They typically are the second Saturday of the month from 11am - 3pm. We LOVE meeting new people, sew don't be shy and come say hi!
Follow us on Instagram for any updates or changes to the schedule.

Mini-mends will be available based on busyness levels. If you have a single item that needs one small mend (i.e. missing button, hook, tack, or tear *on seam*), we will do our best to fix it on the spot.
If it's busy, you may want to walk over to one of our amazing neighbors like Union Market or Pizza Bones, to have lunch while you wait.
Please prep any item you have as listed below in How to Prep Your Pile.
-
Be sure to prep your pile by washing your clothing, marking the damaged areas (next to / not on top of) with tape, safety pins or a detailed note.
Pop those clean items into a tote or grocery bag and label it with your name and contact info. Now you are all set to swing by!
**Remember, anything with moth holes MUST be put in a ziplock bag in the freezer for a minimum of 72hrs before drop off. Please bring these item(s) still inside their ziplocks- thank you!!
