Makeshift: Center for Material Studies (Oakland) is hosting a couple of spring Mending Meetup events. 

A drop-in afternoon of tending to all those holes, tears and snags in your favorite clothes. We’ll be hanging with plenty of supplies for mending, patching, darning, stitching and embellishing whatever needs fixing. No experience necessary! We’ll have some books on hand for inspiration and instruction, as well as our own personal know-how, to share. See event listing for location of each Mending Meetup as workshops and events operate out of various locations in the East Bay.
