The mending…
….we hope it’s never ending!
The Sewing Machine Project and the Eastside Friends of the Dharma (a service oriented organization on Madison’s east side) have gathered forces to bring Mending Night to Goodman Community Center. It is a lovely, fun, constructive opportunity for community building and button sewing! The first, third (and if there is a fifth) Wednesday of every month from 6-8pm, two mending friends meet at the center from 6-8 pm to mend, alter, fix, and increase the life span of any textile oriented item! We’ve attempted to repair a ping pong net, hemmed several pairs of pants, replaced several buttons, taken a few holes out of sweaters and scarves and met some great new folks.
