Mend & Make Do – Hand Sewing Class | March 21

Mend & Make Do

Hand sewing skills to help everyday things last longer

Join Diana Mullis for Mend & Make Do, a hands-on hand sewing class focused on practical skills for everyday life—mending, repairing, and caring well for what you already have.

Designed as a small-group experience, this class invites you to slow down and learn with intention. Over the course of a relaxed Saturday morning, you’ll be guided through essential hand sewing techniques used for simple repairs, garment care, and everyday fixes—skills meant to be useful, confidence-building, and returned to again and again.

Rather than decorative sewing or craft projects, Mend & Make Do centers on stewardship and self-reliance: learning how to fix what’s worn, extend the life of your clothing and household items, and approach repair with patience and care.
