Brunswick Tool Library’s Textiles Repair Workshop @ EBV Makers Market

Join BTL’s volunteers, Karina and Rachel, for a fun and practical Mend It May workshop, part of East Brunswick Village’s vibrant Makers Market! In this hands-on 90 minute session:

🧵 Learn how to give your clothes and other textiles a second life

🫧 Discover fabric care tips to keep your items lasting longer

🪡 Try creative and simple mending

✂ Learn how to create and apply iron-on patches, fabric glue, and other no-sew techniques

Whether you’re new to mending or looking to build confidence, you’ll leave with useful skills, a mended item of your own, and a fresh perspective on textile sustainability that values repair over waste. Bring along something to work on and we’ll provide the rest!
