Meet & Mend

Meet & Mend is a mending/upcycling club that will occur every third Saturday in the Teen Loft of Dover Public Library for families. At Meet & Mend you will have a chance to learn how to have a hands-on introduction to basic hand sewing and machine sewing for people new to sewing, as well as co-sewing (by hand and by machine) and mingling with other library patrons. We’ll also share resources and demo some techniques for DIY mending and upcycling clothing!

Clothing you’d like to mend, scrap cloth, or materials to repurpose. Additional materials such as heat transfer vinyl or infusible ink, specialty threads, etc.

Basic hand-sewing supplies (pins, needles, thread, measuring tape) 6 sewing machines and parts associated such as specialty machine feet . A random assortment of scrap fabric and sewing notions, paper, tape, writing utensils, fabric scissors. Books and resources for visible mending, upcycling, and basic clothing repair. 3 irons, sewing rulers, and hemming Tape
