Have you always wanted to learn how to mend your clothes? Do you have a pile of clothes you love that need a little TLC before you can wear them again? Are you a seasoned mender looking to meet and connect with others? There is a place for you at WHRL’s Mending Cafe! Share your favorite technique for putting a patch on your jeans, sewing on a button, darning your knitwear, and more! Some repairs may benefit from the use of a sewing machine; we will always have at least one available.
We welcome all skill levels to this program. Although this will not be a class, there will be menders who can help you brainstorm ideas for your repairs. We will have some tools and materials available, but we recommend bringing your favorite sewing notions from home. We will have plenty of fabric scraps, embroidery floss, yarn, and iron for pressing. We will also have some of our favorite books on mending techniques available for in-class use and inspiration!
Please note that this program will take place monthly on the second Tuesday of each month on a drop-in basis.

If you’ve ever wanted to try quilling—or build on skills you already have—now is the perfect time! Add a personal touch to your holidays by creating something beautiful through the art of quilling.

Participants can make a snowflake ornament, create a gift tag, or design a one-of-a-kind holiday card. Projects can be as simple or as detailed as you’d like, and starting with a smaller project offers an easy, approachable way to learn. All materials will be provided.
This workshop is open not only to women, but to everyone in the community—ages 14 and up (a guardian is required if the participant is under the age of 16). Registration is required.
You may recognize Kelly from here at WHRL, where she serves as our Communications Coordinator, managing social media and newsletter publications. Outside of work, Kelly enjoys spending time at home with her husband, hiking, and exploring various crafts—including quilling.
