Bring it to our Drop-in Repair Clinic at the Main Library tomorrow from 1 - 4 p.m. and learn how to patch, stitch and darn alongside Boulder Library Makerspace staff and artist and author Katrina Rodabaugh!

We’ll share the basics of mending woven fabrics like denim jeans, knit fabrics like socks and home textiles like pillow covers. These techniques can be applied to a wide range of clothing items and home textiles.

✨ Bring one clean textile to mend and get ready to give it a second life!
