Joy of Mending

Need help sewing a seam, hemming your pants, or darning your socks? Bring your projects to our mending circle where keen sewers will help with basic seam stitches, hemming techniques and an introduction to darning. You can extend the life of your favourite items, reduce consumption, and make an artistic statement all at the same time!

Some supplies provided, bring your projects, or just come and learn.

Ages 12+

This session is brought to you by the New Westminster Climate Action Hub

Presenters:

Cheryl Lewis is a leader in climate solutions at the personal and community. For example, her home now includes climate-friendly solutions such as a heat pump, solar panels and high-level energy efficiency. She also presents climate solution sessions at businesses and facilitates sessions with the RegenerateBC team. She is a long-time sewer and mender, creating practical solutions for various sewing problems.

Kristen Andrews attended a RegenerateBC course a few years ago on getting into climate action. The course inspired her to volunteer to teach others about climate solutions and to be a part of creating the New Westminster Climate Action Hub, an organization focused on speeding up climate solutions adoption in our own community. She has a background working in public libraries and is passionate about public education on this most important topic of our times. Kristen is an avid quilter interested in sustainability in textile crafts.
