Sewing Rebellion

  • 04sewingrebellion_large

Led by local artist, activist, and sewing diva Frau Fiber (aka Carole Frances Lung), this monthly, drop-in workshop is an antidote for those whose politics — or body types — are at odds with mass-produced prêt-a-porter. Participants are "invited to emancipate themselves from the global garment industry" by constructing their own outfits, deconstructing old clothes, making patterns, and recycling textiles. Sewing machines, fabrics, and notions are available (though savvy stitchers will bring some to share). So grab that dusty bridesmaid gown from the back of your closet and transform it into something retro-fabulous.
