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. \nWe 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! \nPlease note that this program will take place monthly on the second Tuesday of each month on a drop-in basis.

Optional sitting or standing activities will help you connect with the beauty and mystery of the insect world\, learn to categorize them\, and consider how humans could possibly survive without them! This program is low-movement\, and you can enjoy it seated or standing. Wheelchairs welcome! For this outing\, you will need to move from your car in the parking lot to the grassy park area of the Milbridge Commons Wellness Park. The park is ringed by a 6′-wide trail with a deep gravel base topped with stone dust\, which makes it easier on the joints than pavement. For people who use wheelchairs\, Maine Trail Finder’s Accessibility Ambassador\, Enock Glidden\, has created a rating system in Wheelies. This outing qualifies as “Wheelie Easy.” See here for more information. For those who would like to move around more\, you will also have the opportunity to do so. Wear clothing and footwear to keep you warm and dry during this slower-paced program\, and a lawn chair if you’d prefer not to sit on a stone bench or the ground. Please reach out to Lizzie at 413-717-7827 with any further questions. \nOWL Outings are led by Registered Maine Guides at Maine Outdoor School who all hold a minimum of a Wilderness First Aid certification. To learn more about MOS’s guides\, visit https://www.maineoutdoorschool.org/staff. \nGear Library \nWHRL and MOS have a gear collection for OWL outings.
