About

The Compost Education Centre hosts a hands-on workshop focused on clothes mending and altering. Participants will learn practical skills to fix small rips and tears, and how to modify garments for a better fit.

Led by Kayla Siefried, Education Director at the Compost Education Centre, this workshop covers visible hand and machine mending, simple pants hemming, and changing the size of various clothing items. Kayla brings her expertise in environmental studies and practical permaculture training to the session.

Attendees are encouraged to bring a simple project to work on, though there will be plenty to learn even without one. The workshop aims to provide a variety of examples for mending and altering different types of clothing, promoting textile fixes that are quick, easy, and enjoyable.
