Join the Lafayette Community Mending Circles!
In these FREE, pop-up mending circles we’ll help you learn to visibly & beautifully mend a favorite item of clothing. Note that this isn’t a class, but rather a group of helpful folks with skills to share.

We’ll reinforce knees & elbows, add beauty to collars & hems, and enjoy the slow, meditative stitching of Sashiko. A Japanese textile tradition, Sashiko’s repetitive, simple stitching is both beautiful to wear & meditative to make. It provides strength, warmth, & decoration to worn & torn clothing.

Bring something that’s in need of repair. Non-stretchy fabric is best = denim, cotton, or linen.

Thanks to a grant from the Lafayette Downtown Development Authority and support from the City of Lafayette Arts & Cultural Resources department – everything else will be provided!
