The Lake County Library provides access to free online and in-person workshops to enrich the lives of the public. The Lakeport Library’s Fabric Club is presenting a series of free “mending” workshops on the first Saturday of the month. Amy Patton will host the next meeting on “making and fixing holes” on January 6 at the Lakeport branch from 10 a.m. – noon. Contact Amy at amy.patton@lakecountyca.gov to register.
Mending will be the subject of the Fabric Club for the next four months. Each mending workshop will focus on a different skill. The first workshop covered hemming; attendees learned to machine or hand-sew a hem. Several participants collaborated to solve mending conundrums. The next workshop will cover holes and future topics will include buttons and how to adjust garments. Amy, who runs the Fabric Club out of Lakeport, invites the public to “Bring your mending and your questions!”
The Fabric Club meets monthly, covering a variety of subjects: sewing, quilting, embroidery, fabric-folding and other fabric crafts. The library shares a stash of fabrics and threads with attendees, but club members bring their own projects, sewing machines, and supplies. Share your knowledge and skills, learn from others, and create new projects.
A calendar of all upcoming events is available on the library website at https://library.lakecountyca.gov.
